WhatsApp has become one of the most popular messaging apps around the world, and with its ease of use, people are wondering where the messages are stored. Are the messages stored on your phone or on your SIM card?
The answer is: neither. WhatsApp messages are stored on a remote server, and not on either your phone or your SIM card.
This means that when you delete a message, it is not actually deleted from your device – instead, it’s just removed from the list of messages you can see. The message still exists on the server.
When you send a message via WhatsApp, it is routed through an internet connection to a remote server. The server then stores the message until it is delivered to its recipient. This means that if you delete a message from your device, it will still exist on the server until both parties have deleted it.
This also means that when you switch phones or SIM cards, all of your WhatsApp messages will remain intact as they are stored in the cloud. You won’t need to worry about losing any of your conversations as they will be available for you to access again.
So to summarise:
WhatsApp messages are not stored on either your phone or SIM card; instead they exist on a remote server and remain there even if you delete them from your device. This also means that when you switch phones or SIM cards, all of your WhatsApp messages will remain intact in the cloud.
Conclusion:
WhatsApp messages are stored on a remote server and not on either a phone or SIM card – so switching phones won’t mean losing any important conversations.
