Who hasn't opened WhatsApp and found the message "This message was deleted"? There are apps that save a copy of incoming notifications. your own cell phone. Since the message text appears in the notification before being deleted, these apps can later show what was received. They do not access another person's account or read conversations from another device.
Before installing, it's worth understanding the limitations: the app only saves messages received after installation and with notification access permission granted; if the conversation was muted or open on the screen at the time, the notification may not have been generated; and media is only saved in some cases. Below are three options available in the official app stores.
1. Notisave
O Notisave is an application that automatically saves all notifications received, allowing you to read deleted messages from applications such as WhatsApp, Messenger and others. It keeps a record of notifications even if they are deleted later.

2. WAMR
O WAMR It allows you to recover text messages and, in some cases, media (photos, videos, audio) that have been deleted by the sender. It works by reading notifications that arrive on your device and creating copies of the received messages.

3. Notification History Log
O Notification History Log records all notifications received on your device, allowing you to access deleted messages later. It offers an organized interface to view notification history by app.
Privacy precautions
To function, these apps request access to all phone notifications, including verification codes, bank messages, and personal conversations. Only install versions from the Google Play Store or the App Store, check recent reviews, and if you stop using them, remove permission in Settings > Notifications > Notification access.
Be wary of services that promise to read WhatsApp messages from another person or another phone. This requires installing hidden spyware on the other person's device, a practice that invades privacy and may be a crime. The apps on this list are only for notifications that arrive on your own device.
Conclusion
Notisave, WAMR, and Notification History Log help recover the text of deleted messages that arrived on your phone, provided they are installed and have the permission enabled before the message is received. They do not recover old conversations nor do they work on another device.
If the goal is to avoid losing important information, WhatsApp's own backup (Settings > Chats > Backup) remains the safest way to save your chat history.
