The thing about WhatsApp messages is you cannot loss them when switching mobile phones or if the phone crashes they are in i cloud so they can be found or retrieved not rocket science

@powderandpaint14 6 ай бұрын

Exactly, it's an app. The messages are stored in the app, not in the phone.

@danielwoods3563 6 ай бұрын

Even if someone wipes the contents of their whatsapp messages, the recipients will still have those messages sent to them stored on their phone. So unless all the parties involved wiped their phones, it should still be possible to recover Johnson’s messages from the recipients phones. And if they all wiped their phones at around the same time, that would in itself be extremely suspicious.
