The hotel address, a friend's arrival time and the photos of your booking confirmation may all be sitting in one WhatsApp conversation. Delete that thread while tidying your chat list, and a small mistake becomes an urgent problem. If you need to recover deleted WhatsApp messages on Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge without a backup, the useful question is how to look for those records on the phone you still have.
Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) offers a focused route for supported configurations: scan WhatsApp app data, review what is available and save the important messages and attachments to a PC. You can look for the travel detail you need rather than trying to restore an entire backup. First rule out a misplaced conversation and check the short device checklist, then follow the five-step Windows workflow.

Before you start
Check the S25 Edge configuration rather than the S25 family name
Open Settings > About phone and Software information, and record the model number, Android version and full build. The supplied S25 Edge Root reference lists SM-S9370 and kernel 6.6.98, but leaves Android unspecified. The public Advanced Recovery guide covers Android 9-13; the additional record is a configuration reference, not confirmation of support for every newer Android release. Ask Dr.Fone support to confirm your complete configuration and WhatsApp version before proceeding. S25 or S25 Ultra compatibility does not establish S25 Edge compatibility.
Keep the original data in place
Keep WhatsApp installed, avoid clearing its storage and do not reset the phone to troubleshoot missing chats. Prepare a Windows PC, a USB data cable and a folder for the recovered output. Follow the product's supported connection and access prompts; do not unlock the bootloader, flash firmware or follow an unverified Root tutorial as a recovery shortcut.
List the missing information you actually need
Note the contact or group, a useful word such as the hotel name, and whether the missing item is text, a photo, a video or another attachment. These clues help you evaluate the preview. Advanced Recovery saves selected results to the PC, so plan to read the recovered copy there rather than inside the original WhatsApp thread.
Check whether the travel conversation is still in WhatsApp
A whole chat has vanished from the main list, but you are not sure whether you deleted it or simply archived it.
Step 1 Search for a distinctive detail
In WhatsApp, search for the contact or group first, then try a phrase you remember, such as a destination or booking name. Open a matching conversation and check the actual messages rather than relying on its position in the chat list.
Step 2 Inspect Archived
Open the Archived area and look for the thread. If the messages are there, you can use the retained information immediately. If the thread or the required messages were deleted, move to the device-scan procedure below.
- Finding an archived conversation is locating data that still exists; it is not deleted-message recovery.
- The scan below does not require an existing Google Drive backup. A backup-restore tutorial is a different route and cannot replace a backup you do not have.
Choose the WhatsApp result that solves your immediate problem
| Missing travel detail | Where to look | Useful result |
|---|---|---|
| An address, time or agreed meeting point | Available conversation and message results | A saved record of the instructions you need to read. |
| A booking photo or shared video | WhatsApp photo and video attachment categories | The available media file rather than only its mention in a conversation. |
| A document or spoken instruction | Other attachment and audio categories | A selected file to keep alongside the relevant messages. |
| The entire chat only disappeared from the main list | WhatsApp search and Archived before scanning | Immediate access if the conversation was retained rather than deleted. |
Common problems and fixes
A support list mentions S25 devices, but Advanced Recovery is unavailable
Check the exact S25 Edge model and software identifiers with Dr.Fone support. The SM-S9370 reference and the public Android range are different pieces of evidence; neither justifies substituting another S25 model or an assumed Android version. Do not change firmware to imitate a listed record.
The preview contains a booking image but not the surrounding conversation
Review the message results separately from photos and other attachments. Save the useful image if it is available, then check whether the required text appears elsewhere in the WhatsApp results. Finding one data type does not establish that the whole thread can be recovered.
How to use Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android)
Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) helps you search for the WhatsApp information that a missing backup cannot provide. On a supported Galaxy S25 Edge, its Windows-only Advanced Recovery workflow looks for available app data, organizes conversations and attachments for review, and saves your chosen results to a PC. For a lost travel thread, that means a practical way to look for an address, a shared confirmation or an important file without saving every unrelated item.
- A WhatsApp-specific scan keeps the recovery task focused on the missing conversation and its shared content.
- Conversation and attachment previews help you distinguish a useful message from a photo or file that answers only part of the problem.
- Selective PC recovery lets you keep the relevant records together for convenient reference.
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 and connect the S25 Edge
Launch Dr.Fone on your Windows computer and go to Toolbox > Data Recovery. Choose Android > Recover Android Data, select Advanced Recovery and click Start Scan. Connect the supported S25 Edge by USB when prompted and complete the on-screen device-detection instructions.
Step 2 Select personal WhatsApp
Choose WhatsApp and click Start Scan. WhatsApp must be scanned separately from WhatsApp Business and the other categories; do not combine them in the same selection. Use the app that held the missing conversation.
Step 3 Keep the phone connected during the scan
Allow Advanced Recovery to scan the selected WhatsApp data while the USB connection remains stable. If you need to stop, click Cancel before unplugging the cable. If the phone is temporarily unresponsive afterward, follow the restart instructions displayed by the product.
Step 4 Preview messages and travel attachments
Open the WhatsApp results and review available conversations. Use search or filters where offered to find the relevant contact or detail, then inspect photos, videos, audio and other attachment categories. Select the records that contain the information you want to keep.
Step 5 Save the selected records to your computer
Click Recover, choose a folder on the PC and complete the save prompts. Open the saved results to review your selected messages and files. This output is a computer copy, not a restoration into WhatsApp on the S25 Edge.
Conclusion
A deleted travel conversation is easier to tackle when you focus on the specific information you need back. For a compatible Galaxy S25 Edge configuration, Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) brings WhatsApp scanning, message and attachment previews, and selective PC saving into one clear workflow. Download Dr.Fone for Windows and start the supported recovery process to look for the directions, confirmations and shared memories that matter.
FAQ
1. Can I recover deleted WhatsApp messages on Galaxy S25 Edge without Google Drive?
Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) provides a device-scan route for supported configurations without an existing Google Drive backup. Confirm your S25 Edge configuration, scan WhatsApp in Advanced Recovery on Windows and save the available records you select. Recovery depends on what the scan can find.2. Does an S25 Edge Root reference mean Android 14, 15 or 16 is supported?
No. The supplied S25 Edge reference does not state an Android version, while the public Advanced Recovery guide documents Android 9-13. Give support your actual model, Android version, build and app version to check the applicable route; do not infer support from the kernel or another S25 device.3. Can I recover deleted WhatsApp photos and videos as well as messages?
On a supported configuration, the WhatsApp results include conversation and attachment views for the data found. Inspect photos, videos, audio and other available files separately, then choose the useful items. A recovered attachment does not guarantee that all of its original messages are also available.4. Will the recovered chat appear in WhatsApp on my phone?
No. This Advanced Recovery workflow saves selected available results to the Windows PC folder you choose. It does not import the conversation into the phone's WhatsApp chat list.
