How to Recover Deleted WhatsApp Voice Notes and Audio Files
On this page (4)
SoundRecovery deep-scans your phone and SD card for deleted and hidden audio: WhatsApp voice notes, Telegram audio, voice recordings, music and downloads. No root is needed.
Step 1: Allow all files access
On Android 11 and newer, SoundRecovery asks for "All files access". It is used only to scan and restore files on your device, and it lets the app search hidden folders and app caches.
Step 2: Run the audio scan
- Choose Audio.
- Wait for the deep scan to finish. It checks every folder, hidden folders and app caches, so it takes a few minutes.
Step 3: Find the right file
- Use the filters WhatsApp, Recordings, Music, Downloads and Other.
- Search by file name or folder, and sort by newest, largest, longest or name.
- Check the Recently deleted section first: these files are still waiting in the system trash.
- Tags show where a file was found: Deleted, Hidden or App cache. Files in app caches are found even when the name or extension is missing.
- Listen to a file before you restore it.
Step 4: Restore
Tick the files and tap Restore. Restored audio goes to the RestoredAudios folder and never overwrites existing files. Tap View restored files to open, share or delete them.
Scan as soon as possible after deleting a file. When its storage space is overwritten by new data, no app can recover it. Results may also show audio files that still exist on your phone.
