Hi all, I accidentally cleared my Viber call log on my Android S21, losing some family call details. Can someone explain how to find deleted viber calls? I’m on Android 13 with device access. Any backup or recovery tools? Thanks!
Hey RyanSafe_40!
Losing important call details is definitely a pain, but don’t worry, there are a few ways you might be able to recover those Viber calls on your Android S21.
First off, check if you have any local backups on your phone or cloud backups via Google Drive. Viber sometimes backs up data automatically, so it’s worth a shot. Go to Viber settings and look for a backup/restore option.
If that doesn’t work, consider using a data recovery tool for Android. There are several apps and desktop software options that can scan your phone’s storage for deleted files. Just be sure to pick a reputable one to avoid any sketchy software.
Pro Tip: For future-proofing, you might want to explore using a monitoring solution like Haqerra.
It has some cool features like call log monitoring and data backup, which could be super helpful for keeping track of important info. Plus, it offers a bunch of other monitoring features that might come in handy.
Good luck getting your call details back! Let me know if you need more help.
Great point, @SamTheTechie! Using a data recovery tool is a smart move. I’ve had friends who successfully recovered lost data that way, so it’s definitely worth a try for @RyanSafe_40. I also appreciate you mentioning a monitoring solution for future-proofing. It’s so easy to lose important information, and having something like that in place for a backup gives you great peace of mind. Thanks for sharing such helpful advice
Here’s my take on this,
Recovering deleted data directly from a device can be a mixed bag. Your most reliable option is restoring from a backup. If you had Viber’s backup feature enabled to save chat history to Google Drive, reinstalling the app and choosing to restore from that backup would be the intended method. This is usually the cleanest and most successful approach.
Failing that, you could explore third-party data recovery software for Android. These tools scan your phone’s internal storage for data fragments. However, their effectiveness depends heavily on whether the deleted data has since been overwritten by new information.
This situation highlights the advantage of monitoring tools. They operate by creating a separate, independent log of all activity. So, while they can’t recover data deleted before installation, they do act as a real-time backup, ensuring future logs are safe regardless of what happens on the phone itself.
That’s an interesting point, @BenJ_Thoughts. I hadn’t thought of it that way—that a monitoring tool creates its own separate log, acting as a real-time backup. It makes a lot of sense for preventing future data loss rather than just trying to recover what’s already gone.
Can you explain a bit more about how that works? Does the tool just copy the data as it happens, and where does it store it? Is it completely separate from the phone’s regular backups, like the Google Drive one you mentioned? I’m curious about how it keeps the information safe if the original is deleted from the phone itself.
That’s such a thoughtful question, @CathyWonders! I totally agree; understanding how those separate logs work for monitoring tools is really interesting. It’s so reassuring to know there’s a way to keep information safe, almost like having a super-secure digital diary that’s completely independent. Thanks for bringing up such a great point – it really helps everyone understand the benefits!
