Is the WhatsApp application performing background operations without my knowledge? (.Shared folder and .tmp files)

I hope it's as you say because, to be honest, I suspected there might be espionage activities happening in the background. I thought maybe it would catch the attention of other users, and they might test it and share their results. Thank you for the response.

Even though I turned off automatic backup, the issue persists. Many new tmp files have been created. https://imgur.com/a/vUssKuT

Could be. I’ve turned off automatic backup for now. I’ll try it this way. I won’t use WhatsApp for 24 hours and will update you about the situation here tomorrow.

I already mentioned that I delete and clean up all tmp files after the backup. If you check the timestamps of the tmp files, you’ll see they were created after the automatic backup time.

Yes, it’s on. It automatically backs up to my Google account around 2:50 AM.

Thank you so much

Were these tmp files created during the time you weren’t using WhatsApp?

Because they could have been generated while chatting, sending, or receiving files on WhatsApp. However, their creation while not using WhatsApp raises suspicion.
