Hi all,

I've already read somewhere about messages backup and how WhatsApp regularly makes automatic backups; nevertheless, there are still some points quite unclear to me:

  1. where are WhatsApp messages actually stored? Only on smartphone memory?
  2. Is it actually possible to read someone else's messages by another device using same login credentials?
  3. Assume I delete every message received within 24 hours from reception: can you confirm that there's no way they can be retrieved at all if any automatic backup occurred after deletion (thus overwriting previous memory state)?
  4. Does "deleting a chat" just mean deleting conversation with another user or... is there any kind of recycle bin that must be emptied sometimes? It seems this is not the case and a deleted chat is lost forever (unless for a backup, of course).
  5. Which are those services/devices/providers which might save your chats if you're sharing your account (as instance, does Google store any chat as it synchronizes your agenda's events and stuff like that..?)?
  6. How to turn OFF auto backup?

Thanks,
