The terrifying part about this is potential abuse. We have seen people arrested for having child porn in their web cache just from clicking on a bad link. I could inject your cache with any image I want using JS. Presumably the same could apply to your phone. Most messengers save images automatically. I presume the images are immediately scanned against hashes once saved. And the report is immediately made if it passes the reported threshold. There’s no defence against this. Your phone number is basically public information and probably in a database somewhere. You have no protection here from abuse, if you’re a normal citizen. I bet most people don’t even turn the auto save setting off on WhatsApp.
