However, if you don't have a backup of your messages and still want to try to recover them, you might consider the following steps:

1. Check Local Device Storage: Sometimes, WhatsApp messages are stored locally on your device for a short period even after they are deleted. You can explore your device's file system using file management apps to see if any relevant data is present. However, this method is not reliable and may not yield the desired results.

2. Check WhatsApp Chat Archives: WhatsApp automatically archives chats if you haven't interacted with them for a while. These archived chats might still contain some of the messages you are looking for.

3. Contact Recipients: If the messages were sent to others, you could try reaching out to the recipients and asking if they still have the messages in their chats.

4. Third-Party Recovery Tools: There are some third-party data recovery tools that claim to be able to recover deleted WhatsApp messages. Be cautious with such tools, as they might not be legitimate, and using them could potentially compromise your privacy or security. Always research and choose reputable tools if you decide to go this route.

5. Check Cloud Services: If your device was linked to a cloud service like Google Drive (for Android) or iCloud (for iPhone), and you had backups enabled in the past, there might be a chance that your messages were backed up there. However, restoring from these backups usually requires the backup to be available and recent.
