How to Recover Deleted Messages on Snapchat

In short, it seems like the photos and videos do not exist as they are deleted, however they still remain on your phone. It is pretty much simple to get access to these files again.

Step 1: File Manager

• If you wish to recover snapchat messages from your phone you need to rename the files so that the .nomedia extension can be removed.
• This can be done using a file manager application. You can find the best File Manager apps on the Google play store, or else you can either download an APK from the Internet.
