The assignment file may have been attached to one WhatsApp message, while the deadline and corrections were explained in the next ten. Delete the class conversation on your Galaxy S24 FE and a surviving PDF may tell only half the story. Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) helps supported users look for the missing discussion and its attachments without starting from a backup they do not have.
If you need to recover deleted WhatsApp messages on Samsung Galaxy S24 FE without a backup, start with a focused scan of WhatsApp on a supported phone. Dr.Fone's Windows Advanced Recovery preview helps you review the available results for missing instructions, identify the matching document or media, and save only the records you need to your PC.

Before you start
Check the FE-specific model and software
In Settings > About phone and Software information, note your model number, Android version and full build. The supplied Galaxy S24 FE Root record names SM-S721B and SM-S721N, kernel 6.1.157, and build entries S721BXXSCDZF3 and S721NKSSCDZF3. Keep the B and N regional prefixes separate; the list is not proof of arbitrary model/build compatibility. Android is not specified. The public Advanced Recovery guide covers Android 9-13, so confirm the complete FE configuration and app version with Dr.Fone support, including eligibility for any additional Root route.
Prepare the Windows workflow while keeping WhatsApp intact
Advanced Recovery is Windows-only. Prepare a Windows computer, a reliable USB data cable and a folder for the records you select. Keep the existing WhatsApp installation and avoid reinstalling, clearing its storage, resetting the phone or flashing firmware as a recovery experiment. Unverified Root and bootloader-unlock procedures are not part of this guide; use only the access instructions confirmed for the supported device.
Identify the missing information, not just the filename
Note the group, approximate date, document title and any remembered instructions. Decide whether you need the assignment file, message text, example photos or a demonstration video. Recovery depends on the scan's available results and saves selected records to a PC rather than recreating the class chat inside WhatsApp.
Check retained messages and downloaded files on Galaxy S24 FE
Find out which part of the task is already accessible and which part needs deleted-data recovery.
Step 1 Look for the original group and instructions
Search WhatsApp for the class or project group and check Archived if it is missing from the main list. If the messages remain, review the actual instructions rather than assuming the attached document contains every correction.
Step 2 Look for a file you previously saved
Use Samsung My Files to look for an already accessible copy by its known filename or in the folder where you saved it. For images or clips, also check existing Gallery media. Keep any useful copy, then use the WhatsApp scan if you still need deleted text or attachments that are absent.
- Finding an existing downloaded file does not recover the discussion that accompanied it.
- Archived chats and surviving files are retained-data checks; no backup restore is presented here as a no-backup solution.
What is missing from your WhatsApp task or class discussion?
| Missing item | Where to look | How the result helps |
|---|---|---|
| A deadline, correction or submission instruction | Retained messages first, then available WhatsApp conversation results | Retrieve the wording that may not be in the attached document. |
| The assignment or reference document | A saved local copy, then the relevant attachment results | Keep the usable file even if you do not need every chat message. |
| An example photo or demonstration video | Existing Gallery media, then WhatsApp photo or video results | Identify the visual reference you need for the task. |
| Several useful records from the scan | Your chosen results in a PC destination folder | Access the selected material together outside the phone. |
Common problems and fixes
The PDF is present, but the corrections are still missing
Treat the document and conversation as separate targets. Review the WhatsApp message results for the group and any remembered wording using available search and filters. A recovered or retained file does not automatically include the later discussion.
A tutorial uses a regular S24 model code instead of your FE code
Use the S24 FE's actual SM-S721-series identity when checking eligibility. Do not substitute an S24 or S24+ build. Provide support with the full FE model, Android version and build so the appropriate route can be checked.
You are considering reinstalling WhatsApp to trigger a restore
A backup-restore prompt needs an existing usable backup; reinstalling is not a way to create the missing history. For this no-backup device-scan route, keep the current installation and follow the supported Dr.Fone connection instructions instead.
How to use Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android)
Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) offers supported Galaxy S24 FE users a focused way to look for the conversation behind a missing document or instruction. The Windows-only Advanced Recovery workflow scans WhatsApp app data, lets you inspect available messages and attachment categories, and saves your chosen results to a PC without relying on an existing backup. Preview helps you decide whether the useful result is the document, the surrounding discussion, a demonstration clip or a combination of them.
- Look for message records as well as media, so a file-only search is not your only option.
- Review found conversations and attachments before choosing the material you need.
- Recover a selective set of useful records to a PC instead of keeping every scan result.
Scan Android phones and tablets directly.- Preview and recover only what you want.
- Supports WhatsApp, photos, videos, contacts, and more.
- Works with 6000+ Android devices.
Follow the official Advanced Recovery workflow
Step 1 Open Advanced Recovery for the S24 FE
Launch Dr.Fone on Windows and choose Toolbox > Data Recovery. Open Android > Recover Android Data, select Advanced Recovery and click Start Scan. Connect your supported Galaxy S24 FE by USB when prompted and follow the on-screen device-recognition instructions.
Step 2 Select WhatsApp for the class or project messages
Choose the personal WhatsApp category and click Start Scan. Scan WhatsApp separately from WhatsApp Business and the other categories, as required by the guide.
Step 3 Keep the S24 FE connected while scanning
Let Advanced Recovery scan the selected app data with the USB connection intact. Click Cancel before disconnecting if you need to stop. If the phone is temporarily unresponsive after scanning or recovery, use the product's displayed restart instructions.
Step 4 Preview the instructions and associated attachments
Inspect the WhatsApp conversation results and use available search or filters to locate the relevant group or record. Review the photo, video, audio and other attachment categories. Select the found message text and files that meet your information needs.
Step 5 Save the selected WhatsApp records to a PC
Click Recover, choose the computer destination folder and complete the save prompts. Open the saved output to review the selected material. Advanced Recovery stores the recovered copy on the PC rather than importing it into WhatsApp on the S24 FE.
Conclusion
Recovering the right WhatsApp information can mean finding both a shared file and the instructions that made it useful. On a supported Galaxy S24 FE, Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) gives you an app-focused scan, message and attachment preview, and selective saving to a PC without an existing backup. Download Dr.Fone for Windows and start looking for the conversation details, documents and media you need to move forward.
FAQ
1. Can I recover deleted WhatsApp messages on Samsung Galaxy S24 FE without a backup?
Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) provides a Windows device-scan route for supported S24 FE configurations. Choose Advanced Recovery and WhatsApp, inspect the available results and save your selection to a PC. No existing Google Drive backup is required for this route.2. Does finding my WhatsApp document in My Files restore the instructions?
No. A file already saved in My Files is a separate retained copy. If the instructions were written in deleted messages, check the conversation results in the supported WhatsApp scan.3. Is Galaxy S24 FE the same configuration as Galaxy S24 for recovery?
No. The FE's supplied record identifies SM-S721B and SM-S721N, with their own build entries. Standard S24 references cannot establish FE compatibility, and the missing Android value in the FE record must be checked on the actual phone.4. Can I recover deleted WhatsApp photos and videos with the messages?
Review the WhatsApp photo and video categories alongside conversation results. If the scan finds the wanted media, select it together with any useful message records. Each item's availability is determined by the scan.5. Does this scan return the class conversation to the WhatsApp app?
No. Advanced Recovery saves selected results to a Windows PC folder. You can access that separate copy on the computer, but it does not recreate the original class conversation inside WhatsApp.
