How to return a blocked deleted chat in WhatsApp - in detail?

Returning a blocked and deleted chat in WhatsApp can be challenging, but it is not impossible with the right steps. Here’s a detailed guide on how to recover such chats:

1. Check Your Backup: The first step is to ensure that you have a recent backup of your WhatsApp data. WhatsApp automatically backs up your chats every day at 2 AM, and you can also create manual backups. To check if your chat was included in the last backup:

   • Open WhatsApp.
   • Go to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup.
   • Here, you will see the date and time of your last backup. If the chat you want to recover was active before this date, it should be included in the backup.

2. Unblock the Contact: Before you can restore a deleted chat, you need to unblock the contact. To do this:

   • Open WhatsApp.
   • Go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Blocked Contacts.
   • Tap on the contact you want to unblock and then tap 'Unblock'.

3. Restore from Backup: Once you have unblocked the contact, you can restore your chat from the backup:

   • Delete WhatsApp from your phone.
   • Reinstall WhatsApp from the App Store or Google Play Store.
   • Open WhatsApp and verify your phone number.
   • When prompted to restore your chats from a backup, tap 'Restore'. WhatsApp will then restore your messages from the last backup.
4. Wait for the Chat to Appear: After restoring from the backup, wait for some time as it might take a while for the chat to appear in your list of conversations. This is because the restoration process can sometimes be slow.

5. Check Your Archived Chats: If the chat still does not appear, check your archived chats. To do this:

   • Open WhatsApp.
   • Scroll to the bottom of your chats list and tap on 'Archived'.
   • Here, you might find your recovered chat. If it is there, simply tap and hold on the chat to unarchive it.
