New Delhi. There is a new twist in the Raja Murder Case. The police has introduced Sonu's WhatsApp chat as evidence. This raises the question whether your encrypted chat can also be read? WhatsApp claims that his chat is end-to-end encrypted, which means only the sender and the receiver can read the message. But, how the police achieved chat in this case is a big question. Let us tell you how to read WhatsApp Chat? Is this possible
WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption, which means only the message sender and receiving the message can read the message, even WhatsApp cannot access them.
Legal Processes:
Law enforcement agencies can redeem court order or warrant to reach the user data, including WhatsApp chats.
If a user has enabled cloud backup (such as Google Drive), law enforcement agencies can reach these backups, which may have unnovated chat history.
If a device is seized and opened using digital forensic tools, law enforcement agencies can reach unilateral chats and download transactions. They can also gather time and location information using metadata from the device, which can help in investigation.
Can you get deleted messages?
Yes, it is possible to recover the chats deleted on WhatsApp, but for this you must have a backup. WhatsApp does not give any way to recover the deleted messages directly. You can restore data from Google Drive or iCloud or local backup, but you will only be able to recover the message till that date, until your latest backup is.
WhatsApp policy:
A dedicated law of WhatsApp is the enforcement response team (lert), which reviews government requests. The lert ensures that legal standards are followed and each request is evaluated.
