Why does my sent messages disappear from Whatsapp?
Table of Contents
This is not an uncommon problem for WhatsApp users, and thankfully it’s one that’s easy to fix. Chances are that your messages actually haven’t disappeared—they just don’t appear in your chat partner’s inbox anymore.
Why does WhatsApp show read receipts?
It is hard to tell whether someone has read your WhatsApp message as there is no traditional way of knowing if they have seen your message. You can change certain settings and activate ‘Read Receipts’ so that if your contact has read it, you will receive a notification showing that they have done so.
How long can I see my sent messages?
By default, sent messages are viewable for only three minutes after being sent. Once those three minutes are up, your recipient will see This message was deleted or some other default text where your message once was. So what happens if your recipient opens your send during those first three minutes? Well, then they’ll be able to read it and if they forward it along or save it in any way, you’ll still be fully visible as the sender.

Why does my inbox not receive messages sent from other users?
There are several reasons why your inbox does not receive messages from other users. This can be due to problems with your Internet connection, or an anti-spam feature of WhatsApp that is activated by default. Some reasons may include: – You have not confirmed your number – Your data connection has been turned off (e.g., you have airplane mode turned on) – You have not backed up WhatsApp to Google Drive or iCloud, and WhatsApp has been force closed due to memory problems.
If I uninstall and install the app again, will I receive old messages?
Not exactly. Some Android and Windows Phone users report that they can recover old messages by uninstalling and reinstalling WhatsApp. Unfortunately, for iOS users (who make up a majority of WhatsApp’s user base), uninstalling and reinstalling your WhatsApp client will not bring back old messages you may have thought had been lost forever. As mentioned above, that’s only true if those conversations were backed up in iCloud or another cloud service.
Other measures to take.
This can be quite confusing for users. Some people may panic and think that their messages have actually been deleted, but it is likely just an issue with how your phone is saving data. The best thing to do if you encounter problems is to restart your smartphone and make sure that you always connect to WiFi before using any messaging apps such as WhatsApp. This will allow data to be transferred more efficiently and prevent any errors from occurring in future.
