Hi,

If she has backups on her local storage, she can recover the deleted chats.

Here are the steps:

  • Open your phone's file manager
  • Go to WhatsApp > Databases
  • Find files called msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12
  • Rename the backup prior to date of deletion to msgstore.db.crypt12
  • Uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp
  • Restore the backup

Good luck.
