Whats app is quietly storing the images that is deleted by you for some reason from your Whats app and some people would rather see the images because it was directed to the virtual dustbin of history, it’s been claimed. Experts have suggested that a new update for Android is playing devil role with the system which usually deletes images forever after you have received them.
The website WaBetaInfo said it was able to download images which had been deleted two or even three months ago.
Normally Whatsapp stores the images you receive for 30 days so they can be downloaded. It then deletes the images after this time.
However, WaBetaInfo said it was able to download images up to three months after they should have been deleted.
It wrote: ‘WhatsApp allows to download deleted media from their servers again. This automatically translates in the fact that WhatsApp continues to store our media on their servers also after downloading them.
‘This feature was partially available before: non-downloaded media were available for 30 days and, when the recipient downloaded the media, WhatsApp immediately deleted it from the server.’
