WhatsApp does not copy nor store the messages sent through its messaging system. Nevertheless, if the recipient is not connected, undelivered messages will be kept in WhatsApp servers and may be stored in those servers for up to 30 days. After this period of time, messages are deleted; and from that moment on messages will only be stored in the emitter’s and the recipient’s devices. Nevertheless, WhatsApp may store the date and time of delivered messages, as well as the mobile phone numbers of the devices involved.
4. WhatsApp states that
files that are sent using its messaging service are kept in their servers after delivery during a so-called “short period of time”. After this time they are finally eliminated according to their “general retention policies”.
