I lent a fairly large sum to an acquaintance, but because I did not write a separate loan certificate, I lack evidence to prove it. The person deleted all the KakaoTalk messages containing the request to borrow the money and the promise of when it would be repaid. Can this conversation be recovered through KakaoTalk forensics?

Through KakaoTalk forensics, you can restore a substantial portion of digital traces such as deleted messages, photos, and files, and you can use them as evidence to prove the lending relationship later.
Even if you accidentally deleted the chat room, if you analyze the traces remaining in the internal data area of the smartphone through forensic technology, there is a possibility of recovering the KakaoTalk messages containing the fact of the monetary loan.
However, if the device is reset or a lot of new data has been overwritten, the possibility of recovery may decrease, so it seems best to entrust it to a specialized institution as soon as possible.
In addition, data restored through KakaoTalk forensics can be submitted as evidence in civil litigation and the like, but to be adopted as evidence in court, it must be an original file recovered in accordance with lawful procedures.
In particular, digital evidence must have its integrity and reliability secured for the court to be likely to recognize it as evidence, so the possibility of alteration·forgery must be blocked during the collection process.
Accordingly, we recommend that you proceed with the help of a digital forensics expert rather than attempting recovery on your own.
