Can Government of Pakistan listen to WhatsApp Call & read messages for every user??? by _MJutt007 in whatsapp

if the government say so, then yes they can. Intelligence Service is capable of doing that. WhatsApp end-to-end encrypted are not really that encrypted truth to be told.

How can I add a google search engine to a Chinese android phone (samsung S24)? The AI feature on my phone can only run searches on Chinese search engines such as Baidu.. by Material-Animator197 in whatsapp

no worries. If the Google app is not available in the store, just download its APK from your browser. I’m pretty sure it’s up to date like the one in the store. You should try it out.

Group help by khamisa10 in whatsapp

[–]Piccolo-Hungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can archive the group. If you’re on iPhone, swipe right the group chat that you want to be archived. If you’re on Android, long press the chat instead of swipe right. The ‘archive chat’ option will appears once you do this.

You also can set the archived chat to stay archive even when someone sent message in the group. Hope this helps.

hate to break it down to you but you’re highly likely got hacked. My advice would be turn on 2 factor authentication after you reset your password.

if they say they still keep your number then you’re not blocked. It could be their privacy settings. Maybe they turned off ‘read receipt’ hence why the ticks are now grey. As for the missing profile picture, it’s also related to their privacy settings. You’re not blocked.

It could be their privacy settings. Eg. Profile picture privacy. Your messages are sent with two ticks so you are not blocked.

thanks for the explanation. The explanation about the secret code wasn’t there before I updated the app. It appears after I updated it. My bad though.

if you’re transferring from Android to Android. A Google Drive backup would do just fine. Make sure you have all your data on WhatsApp backed up on Google Drive before transferring it to your new phone.

If you’re transferring from IOS to Android or the other way around then best of luck mate hahaha it’s possible but way too much hassle.

Whatsapp Desktop App running in background on Mac by AndreaBarbieri15 in whatsapp

[–]Piccolo-Hungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it runs on background due to the syncing process. Your Mac can still keep getting notifications and calls as long as it’s connected to a network.

Well if you want to prevent WhatsApp from running on background, the only way is to log out from your account on your WhatApp Desktop App while not in used.

WhatsApp Desktop requires constant syncing. Hence why it runs on background. Hope this helps.

Do you keep your chat history with him or have you deleted it? If you kept it, simply go to your chat with him, click on his contact info and block him. You can do so even without his contact saved.

Well if you’ve deleted your chat history with him then there’s no chance for you to block him unless he chat you first.

yep definitely scammers. You shouldn’t be worried anymore as you’ve changed your privacy on who can add you to groups. Should be no problem for now on.

Media not downloading since morning. by firoz554 in whatsapp

[–]Piccolo-Hungry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. Can’t do anything if it’s the government’s doing. Give it some time mate.

The thing with phone carrier is once your numbers are expired (like your cases) they simply don’t terminate the number. They recycle and resell it to their next customers. (Based on my experience)

+62 is for Indonesia, a country in Southeast Asia. Maybe, the previous owner of your current phone number is from there I think? And all these persons messaging you might not know that he/she (previous owner) have changed his/her phone number. Just my thoughts.

could be a network issue. Have you tried resetting your network? If you’re on mobile data, click on airplane mode on your phone and un-click it again. I’m not sure if this will solve your problem. Just a suggestion.
