As a result, if the user uninstalls the app and then reinstalls it, the old messages come back. Backup time is unique to protect WhatsApp user's private messages encryption code is using But it remains to be seen how well Facebook can strengthen WhatsApp's security in the face of its own massive user security flaws.

Security managers say that as a result of WhatsApp's integration with Facebook, WhatsApp's storage system will also be connected to Facebook's database.

Baschart also says that WhatsApp's database is mainly about users Micro SD card Any Android app has access to the SD card for storage. This is the general rule for apps. If an app requests SD card access many times, the SD card gives it access. This is how SD card security can be broken.

As a result of WhatsApp's integration with Facebook, private messages on WhatsApp may no longer be private. When the Baschart company personally asked WhatsApp and Facebook about this security issue, they have not yet responded.
