Make sense of iPhone notifications and messages
Restoring a chat, finding a dismissed alert and saving future notifications are different tasks. Start with what happened on your phone.
What happened on your iPhone?
Messages and chats
See deleted messages
Seeing “This message was deleted”? If the notification arrived first, the text is still in NotiKeep.
Deleted your chat? Check the backup first
Separate a chat you deleted from a message removed by its sender before reinstalling WhatsApp.
Read text saved before an edit
Previously captured text stays saved. Learn when an edited message may also arrive as a new notification.
Read without opening the chat
Read in NotiKeep without opening WhatsApp: no blue ticks and no “online” status.
Old and cleared notifications
Find an old notification
Your iPhone forgets the notifications you clear. NotiKeep keeps a searchable history.
A notification disappeared or was cleared?
Check Notification Center, the source app and copies saved earlier. Clearing an alert may leave the message intact.
Bring back the latest notification
Use the Action Button, Back Tap or Siri to read the latest saved message.
Setup and alternatives
