How to See Deleted Messages in GBWhatsApp?
In daily chats, have you ever encountered such a situation: the other party just sent a message, but the next second quickly withdrew it, leaving only “This message has been deleted”, which is both curious and helpless. In the official WhatsApp, once a message is deleted, it is almost impossible to view its content again.
In GBWhatsApp, with the help of the See Deleted Messages function, this problem has been perfectly solved.
This article will comprehensively introduce the working principle, activation method, applicable scenarios, precautions and comparison with the official WhatsApp of this function, helping you truly master this practical feature.
What is the See Deleted Messages Feature?
See Deleted Messages is an advanced privacy enhancement feature provided by GBWhatsApp, which is used to retain and view the original content after the recipient deletes the message.
Whether it is:
- A withdrawn text message
- A deleted picture or video
- A removed voice message
As long as you have received it before deleting, GBWhatsApp has the chance to save it completely.
How does GBWhatsApp Enable Users to View Deleted Messages?
GBWhatsApp does not “restore” deleted messages but achieves this through the following mechanism:
Local caching mechanism
Once the message is delivered, it will be stored in the local database.
Intercept and delete instructions
When the other party performs the operation of “delete this message”.
GBWhatsApp will prevent this command from synchronously deleting local content.
Keep a copy of the original message
The deletion prompt may still be displayed, but the actual content will not disappear.
In other words: The message already exists on your device, and even if the other party deletes it, it cannot be remotely erased.
How to Enable the See Deleted Messages Feature in GBWhatsApp?
The startup steps are very simple and suitable for novice users to operate:
Method One: Enable it through privacy Settings
- Open GBWhatsApp.
- Click the three-dot menu in the upper right corner.
- Enter GB Settings.
- Click Privacy.
- Find and enable:Anti-Delete Messages
Once enabled, it will take effect automatically without the need to restart the application.
Method Two: Enable media anti-deletion separately
If you want to keep the deleted pictures, videos and voice messages, it is recommended that you enable them simultaneously
- Anti-Delete Messages
- Anti-Delete Status
- Media Visibility
This can ensure that all the content is completely preserved.

Notes on Using See Deleted Messages
Although it is powerful in function, the following points still need to be noted：
Account security risk
GBWhatsApp is a third-party modified version and there is a possibility of being banned by the official account.
Messages can only be viewed locally
They are only saved on your device and cannot be synchronized to new devices.
Storage space occupation
Long-term retention of deleted media may increase the storage pressure on mobile phones.
It is recommended to clear the cache regularly and use the latest Anti-Ban version.

- Go to GB Settings
- Click Privacy
- Turn off Anti-Delete Messages
