Using third-party data recovery programs

If the correspondence was deleted a long time ago or was not synchronized with the cloud, you can use third-party data recovery programs. These applications scan the device memory and restore deleted files.

  2. Connect your iPhone to your computer;
  3. Launch the program and select the message recovery option;
  4. Wait for the scan to complete and recover deleted chats if found.

Contacting VKontakte support

If none of the methods helped, you can contact VKontakte support. This is the last option if the messages were recently deleted or there was a system failure.

  1. Open the VKontakte application;
  2. Go to the Settings section and select Help;
  3. In the “Write to support” section, describe your problem, indicating the date of loss of messages;
  4. Wait for a response from the support service. VKontakte can restore the correspondence if it is still saved on the social network servers.
