This does not make a lot of sense.
If they don't retain any message content, then how am I able to browse all my message threads on https://web.whatsapp.com https://web.whatsapp.com?
EDIT: I'm wrong.
- kawera 10y agoThe messages come from your phone; that's why you need your phone to access the webapp.
- missing_cipher 10y agoIt connects to your phone which stores the messages, I believe.
- jklp 10y agoI also use the web interface and I believe it tethers your phone to the browser - so the phone is sending the unencrypted messages to the browser window. If you delete a message on the phone the message disappears in the web interface too.

- melvinmt 10y agoLooks like you guys are right: "WhatsApp Web connects to your phone to sync messages." I.. did not know that.
