Whatsapp losing chat history

Hi,
I have been chatting in a whatsapp group chat for several months now. But recently, in the past week, I keep on losing part of the chat history from the group but the single one-on-one chat remains intact. So here's an example: Chat from 13:00 till 17:00, when I go into the group at 15:00, the messages between 13:00 to 15:00 went missing.
What's causing this problem and how to fix it? Any idea?
thanks!
Dennis

Since you're using a 3rd party app to message, I would suggest contacting the app developer and see if they can resolve your issue.
I would also check the reviews/ratings to see if other users are having the same issue and look and see if there is a fix.

Can't restore whatsapp from my iCloud. Can restore all chat history I've backed up to iCloud. What can I do?

I'm trying to restore my whatsApp data from my iCloud and it's not working.
I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Trying to restore the data but the process seems to be stuck and not completed.
The chat history is very important to me.
Pleas help me

Well, I had the same problem today. What I did was reboot my iPhone 4 and it worked. If there's anyone experiencing this issue, try this.
(if you don't know how to reboot, just hold the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears)

How do u move all of my whatsapp chat history

I have a temporary new phone. Both are iphones. I wanted to transfer all of my chat history to my new phone. Which no longer has a sim but works on wifi. I went to whatsapp settings and his backup chat history but its been 'backingup' for hours now. Is there another way?

Is this info still on your old iPhone?
Make sure on the new iPhone, you Restore from backup and select the backup of the old iPhone.
If you did it correctly, it will be on new iPhone.
if you did not do it correctly, nothing from old iPhone will be on new iPhone.

HT4859 Restoring Whatsapp Chat History from iCloud

I had to uninstall Whatsapp and now I have lost all my chat history. How do I restore this from iCloud?

Hi soumyashree,
That's fustrating, I've been there before with a stuck iCloud restore, I just had to wait it out in the end. Hours!!
If you made an iTunes backup before the conversation was deleted you could restore from that.
If you don't, try to restore from the iCloud backup again. As a last restort, you could try some iCloud restore troubleshooting tips.
or third party recovery software to help you get your whatsapp chat back. However this may cost money.
Be sure to look through reviews before you make a decision.

Whatsapp Chat history

Hi All, I am using whatsapp in my Nokia 603. When i try to export the chat history of a contact to email/bluetooth I am able to get only 210 KB of data. Please help me to extract entire chat history of a contact. Thanks

Hi Guys. *Here is a Solution I Found*
I also lost my chats but this was deliberate through swopping phones since my wife could not view messages due to White Screen of Death. When I put back my SIM Card all the chat history was gone despite having chosen option to save messages to media card. I searched everywhere but there was no information, Whatsapp only have option to restore for Android when the reinstall is done but Blackberry automatically selects the most recent backup which in my case was only one chat message. So I will give a rundown of how I got to get old messages back.
1. The backup files are stored on your media card, location address /Media Card/databases/Whatsapp/, all the .db files are back-ups and by pressing Menu, Properties you can see which date it was saved.
2. I connected my Blackberry to the PC, opened the location above and chose the target date of restore as 16 October 2012, so I cut every file except the one for 16 October 2012. I pasted them onto a temp folder I created on my PC desktop.
3. Once you remain with the file for your backup, eject the Media Card from your PC. You should see the Blackberry run that clock, wait for it to finish. Open your Whatsapp Messenger and voila, your messages/chat will be there again The best thing is my new messages were not removed, they were added with the old ones.
The drawback I have seen in the Blackberry/Whatsapp application is that when you delete and reinstall Whatsapp as advised you will remain with the same recent chat which you dont want and Blackberry's whatsapp has no option to choose which backup you want to use so this manual workaround has worked for me in this instance.

Whatsapp, help copying large chat history with media

Good day -
I have a Whatsapp chat history on my iPhone that has over 4000 media files in one chat conversation.
Normally I would just email the chat history, with media ... but in this case the media files associated with the chat is TOO BIG to email.
I have tried and bought various Whatsapp "Extractors" and none of them work.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks so much.
Charl.

Your best bet is to find the support pages for whatsapp.
There you will find people who use the app or work for the developer and will have useful info.

How can I access a dormant chat history without logging onto Skype which will delete the data?

I am posting this question here because many of you will have more technical knowldege about how this works compared to any other thread. I need to access my own Skype IM convos for legal reasons. I have only just realised that I do not have a complete history of chats from the begining of time. It's extremely frustrating that Skype only keeps 6mo worth of chat since Microsoft took over. This happened without any notification from MS that I can recall and it is a major problem for me now. Plan B: I have a Vista machine that I have not used for ages. If I can access the Skype IM chat history on it that will cover at least some of the period I need to access. My problem is, to view the IM chats I need to go online and log into Skype BUT that will wipe the info I need to see when it updates the history and goes back 6mo. It's a catch 22 situation. The info is there but i just don't know how to see it. As an additional complication, I stopped using the machine because there was a strong reason to believe it had a security breach/Trojan on it that antivirus program's could not detect. So I want to avoid going online with that Vista machine but it is possible. How can I view and extract my Skype IM convos without logging onto Skype itself and losing the data I want access? Obviously I know my passwords, so it's not a spying situation that I need to get around. It's very important that I view these old chats and fast. I have Internet access through other machines at the moment and I am not a techie. Can anyone help? You are my last chance.

Thanks Tamim. I had seen that app but was reluctant to try it. Following your post, I tried it and YES it does work. It is a bit cumbersome and will take a lot of work to sift through the CSV file that has every single chat convo combined into one file and not into separate conversations. There are tens of thousands of lines to search through. I am very grateful that the history is retrievable at all . It's just going to take a long time to sift through the data in an efficient and useable way. Unfortunately, with deadlines looming, I have very little time to do it in. Tamim, or anyone else for that matter, do you know of a way that the information can be viewed as a complete conversation between 2 people only?
ie filtering out the other irrelevant conversations? Thnak you, thank you, thank you for your help so far.

Blackberry Messenger - Chat history request question

Hi
I am a first timer on here, so please be gentle.
My daughter uses BBM quite a bit, but has recently been acussed of being involved in something silly. I have checked the chat history settings, but they are turned off. So I have now turned them back on to save to the device. However, I want to know how I can go about requesting a history of conversations. Can I do this through Blackberry or through the phone network provider?
I would be really grateful if someone could assist please.
Many thanks

* For Whatsapp:
in Whatsapp's Settings, disable saving the chat history.
Connect your phone to your PC as USB unit. From the PC go to the SD Card and in the "databases" folder delete the Whatsapp folder.
Then eject and unplug your phone, go to whatsapp and enable chat history again. It should work!!
* For BBM and Windows Live:
in BBM and Windows Live Settings, disable saving the chat history.
Connect your phone to your PC as USB unit. From the PC go to the SD Card and in Blackberry/im delete the "history" folder in both BBM and Windows Live.
Then eject and unplug your phone, enable chat history again. It should work!!
If BBM doesn't work, connect your phone again and create yourself the folder "history". I'm sure Windows Live creates it again but not too sure about BBM.
Hope it solves your problem as it solved mine!!

Blackberry messenger chat history not viewable for bold 9700 (onyx) OS 6

As the title said. I have the problem of view chat history for the past few weeks. I have downloaded the latest version of bbm (5.0.3.22). The chat history has always been saved in memory card. There is a link that said "view chat history" in any chat window, but once I clicked it will keep loading for hours to no avail. Is there any solution to this problem?

IChat - Synching Chatting History from multiple devices on same account

I currently have the iChat server up and running on a MacMini running OS X 10.6.4. I see in the iChat client on my MacBook Pro where it will load past messages when I open a chat with a buddy. I am also running a jabber client on my iPhone (IM+ is the iPhone app). What I am curious about is if there is a way to load chat history for the account, not just from the device.
For instance, when using Skype the following will occur. I can chat on my iPhone, and then when I login to my Laptop, the history of chats sent from my iPhone will be added to the history on my Laptop. I am trying to prevent having to look back at every device I use my jabber account on to find that one IM message that has the information I need.
Is there a way to sync the account on all clients (or at least just my MacBook Pro) so I can view chats there sent from all my devices and not just from my Laptop?

Tim,
I have turned on the logging feature inside of the iChat server, and I have seen all IMs being sent are saved.
So do you think this is more of a client side problem of not being able to sync from the Message Archive on the OS X Snow Leopard 10.64 iChat server? Meaning that if the IMs are being saved, then all that really needs to be done is to create a client that will access the server log and do a compare of its local saved history with the server saved history and then takes any missing IMs and adds to its local history log?
Am I far off base on this, or does this seem feasable?
