WhatsApp, which will soon launch new animated and customizable emojis, is the star messaging application in Spain, and one of the most used in the world. Even so, it has a series of tricks that not all users know and that allow you to use the app as a teacherlike one to know if you have been given a false number. Now another has come to light that allows find out if someone has deleted conversations and what they were.
[El truco de WhatsApp para agregar a un contacto sin que se entere]
The messaging app owned by Meta, formerly known as Facebookallows delete both specific messages and individual and group conversations natively. A feature that is interesting to use if you want to erase a person’s trail, either because you don’t want to maintain contact with them or because you don’t want that chat to appear on the main page of the app.
Although it seems that by deleting the chat there will be no trace of it, the truth is that WhatsApp has a little-known trick that allows you to find out if a person has deleted conversations. Not only that, but this shortcut also serves to know which chats have been deleted and, therefore, with whom that user has spoken. A simple and safe shortcut to use, since it does not require the installation of applications or third-party programs.
How does it work?
Since its launch, WhatsApp has become the main tool to be in contact with friends and loved ones, being able to make calls to send messages or multimedia files. Once you receive or share a photo or video with someone, the application keeps a recordwhich is key to performing this trick.
It is possible that, for whatever reason, you have sometimes had to delete a certain WhatsApp conversation. Even so, if photographs or videos have been sent or received in it, the Meta tool will continue to mark in its registry that contact with that person has been maintained. In this way, anyone can find out if chats have been deleted.
To perform the trick you have to go to the WhatsApp settings.
Homicronous
To carry out this trick you have to take into account two important things: the consent of the other person is needed to have access to their mobile phone and this shortcut should never be done to harm anyone, only for good intentions like recovering deleted photos. Once you have the smartphone of that user in hand, the first thing to do is check that you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed and, if so, enter the app.
At that time you will have to go to the settings, which are accessed from the icon of the three vertical points located in the upper right corner in the case of Android and in the ‘Settings’ tab with the wheel symbol in iPhone. Then you have to click on ‘Storage and data’ and then touch on ‘Manage storage’.
If you scroll down, you’ll find a section called ‘Chats’, which lists the names of all the contacts that person has ever talked to and shared media with. To find out if you have deleted a conversation, simply return to the main WhatsApp interface and, if the name of a specific user that was on the list does not appear, then it means that this chat has been deleted.
free up space
Thanks to this trick you can find out if someone has deleted a conversation and, furthermore, know what it was and the multimedia files that have been shared, but never the messages. It should be noted that the reality about this WhatsApp function is that has been developed as a method to free up storage space.
The ‘Manage storage’ function allows you to free up space.
Homicronous
Once inside ‘Manage storage’, WhatsApp shows both the amount of space that shared photos and videos and other elements, such as documents or PDFs, occupy on the mobile phone. To free up space, just delete large files or files that were forwarded many timesand even delete everything sent and received in an individual or group chat.
On the other hand, when the amount of mobile phone storage reaches extremely low levels, WhatsApp may not work properly. In that case, the messaging application itself prompts the user to delete items to free up space so that the app can be used optimally.
