I have an iphone. I have a contact that I haven't spoken to in a while but still have them as a contact. A while back I had a few messages with him and then after a while I deleted those messages on whatsapp. I remember i just copied and highlighted those messages and deleted it. So when you go to that contact on whatsapp, there is no chat history with that person. My question is, does that mean the chat history is completely erased or not? I read that whatsapp is owned by facebook and messages are not truly encrypted like signal... is that true? Thus any message you had with anyone on whatsapp is on their whatsapp servers?
Now the thing I want to know is, is there a way to retrieve old deleted whatsapp messages on my iphone if one has access to my phone? Thus imagine i give my phone to someone and let them use it etc. Could they restore all my whatsapp messages that I ever deleted or not? Thing is i only want the text messages from one contact who I haven't spoken to permanently deleted... though I thought that I did that a while back when I deleted it. Basically I was upset at that guy and raged at him and never talked to him ever again. But I found out I never actually deleted him as a contact and i'm pretty sure he hasn't deleted me as a contact.
Anyone can answer me this? Because isn't there a whatsapp chat backup that is there where it could restore it? Again I just want the chat with that one whatsapp contact to be permanently deleted. Would deleting that contact do anything or not at all?
