WhatsApp on iOS does not delete chats fully
Earlier his year in April, WhatsApp announced that it had turned on full end-to-end encryption for its communications.However a security researcher Jonathan Zdziarski wrote in a blog post that the latest version of WhatsApp for Apple's iOS software for iPhones leaves some information vulnerable.
Deleted WhatsApp chats can still be read, security researcher warns
WhatsApp isn't actually deleting the messages you send to the archive, according to a security researcher.On Apple devices the app stores a "forensic trace" of all chats, be them "deleted, cleared, or archived", Jonathan Zdziarski found.
Your WhatsApp chats may not be getting deleted
New Delhi: Sorry, folks, while WhatsApp enabled end-to-end encryption for all data sent and received on the app in April, it's latest version leaves forensic trace of all of your chats, even after you've deleted, cleared, or archived them.These are the findings from a new research published by iOS researcher Jonathan Zdziarski who claims that the WhatsApp chats are not getting deleted, even if you use the option of 'clear all chats'.
WhatsApp isn't fully deleting its 'deleted' chats
WhatsApp retains and stores chat logs even after those chats have been deleted, according to a post today by iOS researcher Jonathan Zdziarski.Examining disk images taken from the most recent version of the app, Zdziarski found that the software retains and stores a forensic trace of the chat logs even after the chats have been deleted, creating a potential treasure trove of information for anyone with physical access to the device.
