WhatsApp 'Delete For Everyone' Feature Flawed; Here's How You Can Read 'Deleted' Message

 Popular messaging app WhatsApp, in October, introduced a 'Delete For Everyone' feature, allowing users to expunge a sent message within seven minutes. In less than a month, it has emerged that WhatsApp's 'Delete For Everyone' feature is flawed and receivers can still read a deleted message. Android Jefe, a Spanish Android blog, found that deleted messages of WhatsApp chat are saved in the notification register of the Android system and can be read anytime.

"We have discovered a way to recover or see messages deleted by the other person in a WhatsApp chat," the blog reads. "What we found is that the messages are stored in the notification register of the Android system. So, it's just a matter of entering that record to see the messages that the other person deleted," it stated. The workaround appears to be available only for Android 7.0 users. It is unclear if a similar hack is available on iOS.

Whenever a notification comes on an Android device, be it a message or an app alert, it is stored in the notification log. The first 100 characters of the notification message also get saved. So while a WhatsApp users may not be able to see the message in WhatsApp chat after it is deleted by the sender, he/she can still find it in the notification log.

Here's how you can access deleted WhatsApp messages on Android 7.0 devices:
Press and hold home screen

Press widgets icon

Scroll down to Settings

Drag and drop onto home screen

Click on widget

Scroll down and click on the notification log

Click on the message you want to see

You can also download a notification history app, which displays a list of all your recent notifications. The first 100 characters of the message will appear in the line starting with 'android.text.
