Restoring deleted stickers in WhatsApp on an Android device can be a straightforward process if you follow the correct steps. While WhatsApp does not provide a direct option to restore individual stickers, there are methods you can employ to recover them. Here is a detailed guide:

Backup and Restore Method

  1. Ensure Regular Backups: WhatsApp automatically creates backups of your chats, including stickers, every day at 2 AM. To ensure this feature is enabled:

    • Open WhatsApp.
    • Go to Settings > Chats.
    • Tap on Chat Backup.
    • Ensure that the backup frequency is set to your preference (daily, weekly, or monthly).

  2. Restore from Backup: If you have recently deleted stickers and want to restore them:

    • Uninstall WhatsApp from your device.
    • Reinstall WhatsApp from the Google Play Store.
    • Open WhatsApp and follow the setup process until you reach the screen that asks if you want to restore your chats and media from a backup.
    • Tap on Restore and wait for the process to complete. Your stickers, along with other chat data, should be restored to their original state.

Using Google Drive Backup

  1. Link WhatsApp with Google Drive: Ensure your WhatsApp is linked to Google Drive:

    • Go to Settings > Chats.
    • Tap on Chat Backup.
    • Under the Backup to Google Drive section, select the frequency of backup and ensure it is set to a suitable interval.

  2. Restore from Google Drive: If you have previously backed up your WhatsApp data to Google Drive:

    • Uninstall WhatsApp from your device.
    • Reinstall WhatsApp from the Google Play Store.
    • Open WhatsApp and enter your phone number during the setup process.
    • When prompted, tap on Restore when you see the option to restore your chats and media from a backup. The restoration process will include your stickers.

Manual Restoration of Stickers

  1. Redownload Stickers: If you have deleted specific sticker packs:
    • Open WhatsApp.
    • Go to Settings > Stickers.
    • Find the sticker pack that was deleted and tap on it.
    • You will see an option to download the sticker pack again. Tap on Download and wait for the process to complete.

Important Notes

  • Data Loss: Uninstalling WhatsApp will result in the loss of recent messages and media that are not backed up. Ensure you have a backup before proceeding with this method.
  • Internet Connection: Both restoring from a backup and redownloading sticker packs require an active internet connection.

By following these methods, you should be able to restore your deleted WhatsApp stickers on your Android device effectively.
