Please is there anyone can help me restore WhatsApp messages from OnePlus? Thanks in advance."
There are dozens of ways for Android users to restore data. Some of them are free tips and some of them are third-party programs. Most of them fail because they don't support phones of some small brand and some even don't support WhatsApp messages recovery.
Today I will show you how to retrieve WhatsApp messages from OnePlus with Android Data Recovery, which supports data recovery as long as you use Android 2.3 to Android 5.0.
Android Data Recovery, a well-known data recovery software for Android phone, is good at recovering different data including WhatsApp messages. Not only the WhatsApp chat history you make with your friends, but also the attachments like photos, audios, videos, and more is recoverable.
Download Android Data Recovery on your computer and start the steps as shown below:

After that, as you can see in the below screenshot, you will be allowed to choose the data type. Tick the box next to "WhatsApp messages & attachments" and then click "Next".
Note: You will also be asked to allow SuperUser request on OnePlus 2. Just simply tap "Allow" on your OnePlus as the windows below shows. Please retry it if it fails.
