Hello guys,
Please I need help.
I used to chat with a friend for over 3-4 months on whatsapp. 2 days ago, we had a chat which was sensitive and crucial. My friend kept demanding I deleted the chats but I refused cos I needed "security" in case he decides to act out of the way.
He has been begging me to delete which I refused but through out today, he kept asking to see my whatsapp which I refused but after a lot of pressure, I agreed and everything between us deleted.
All my other chats are intact.
My phone has fingerprint and also, all my apps. I use a huawei Mate 9 while he uses iPhone 6.
Is there a a way that the person can do that and how can I prevent it from happening in the future?
Thanks

Hello guys I bought the new nexus 5 today and when installed whatsapp no unread messages were shown/came.
I had xperia s earlier and display got dead so i removed the sim conected the phone to tv and uninstalled whatsapp.
I was expecting tons of messages after 2 months of going back to whatsapp.
Please help me solve this I didnt saved so many chicks phone no I only had chats and this is a disaster.
I only got 5 chats saying you have been removed from the group I mean there will be atleast 1 message I must have got in last 2 months a broadcast maybe.
Please please please help.
Thankyou
try unregistering it from your old phone
I have to connect the phone to tv first and put the sim in that phone and when I reinstall it will again do the phone confirmation thing so I don't think that will help either.
So here's what is going on:
I had an iPhone, iMessage enabled. Moved to a Note 5 and continued my group text with 2 other iPhone users and one Android user. I don't remember specifically when I got the phone if everyone was responding or not, but I believe they were.
Somewhere along the lines one of the users stopped responding and a day or two later sent a message to us saying he received all of our texts one morning about 3 am in a group. Ever since then messaging has been a problem.
I can send group messages to the 4 of us, 2 of them get it, and this one iPhone user can't. Tested just me, him and the other iphone user - same issue.
He's tried factory resetting the phone, a new SIM card, updating the OS and probably a couple other things.
I've tried removing my devices from iMessage, calling apple to ensure I'm removed, even tried texting from Pinger as a test. It all indicates his phone is causing issues.
However, last night he shut off some sort of wi-fi assist where I think it uses both cell and wi-fi to send data (I think I read this feature was enabled by default on the new IOS9)
That seemed to work but then I noticed I wasn't getting the OTHER iPhone's text messages, but he was getting mine.
Went to another group text without the original iphone user in it but the second iphone user in it, and he and I can text just fine.
So basically, as it stands right now, I want to pull my hair out. I can't tell if this issue is on my end since I switched from an iPhone to an Android, or if its on their end. I had an issue a couple years ago when Is witched off my iphone where I didn't get anyone's iMessages in a group text - that was at the time when Apple's whole deal with contacts and iMessages came out so I fell into that problem.
I have no idea what to look at, how to test this any more and it's really actually infuriating. It's 2015. I should be able to send a text message to two or three people at one time without it causing issues.
Also - is there a way to shut off group messages as an MMS? I think that might be part of the problem but I don't know what I'm looking for.
Thank you.
Hey,
I was having a phone call with my dad (he is using Huawei P8 Lite) yesterday evening and suddenly we both heard the beeping sound you heard when somebody is attempting to call you while you are having a phone call. We both checked our phones but there was nothing showing on our screens so we just continued. Suddenly, the call dropped and when my dad called me 10 minutes later he said that his phone just shut down and said that it's updating his software. When the phone turned on, everything was set to factory settings with all his contacts, photos, messages etc. gone. Even his SD card is wiped.
This morning, I got a message from my sister saying that bunch of her classmates had their phones (both Android phones and iPhones) wiped completely yesterday evening (around the same time as it happened to our dad) and apparently all of them were displaying message that software is updating. We found out that all phones were signed into common gmail account my sister is using with her classmates. I told her to immediately change the password to that email and sign out of it from all our devices.
Anybody has any idea what could cause this? Any advice on how to recover the lost data? My dad had his gallery synced with Google photos, it's mainly contacts that he is missing since he had over 1,5k of them and he said he did a back up of them not so long ago but the backup was on his SD card that's now empty as well.
Side note (I'm not sure if this has something to do with the issue above): I tried to log into that email account yesterday from my Macbook since I needed to download one powerpoint file from it but when trying to log in I was kicked out with a message saying that my access is denied due to multiple attempts of logging into the account (that was the first and only time I tried logging into that account). I shut down my laptop before I went to sleep yesterday. This morning, my laptop got into boot loop and was later showing message that Mac OS could not be installed on my computer because installation file is corrupted or missing. I managed to turn on my laptop but my sister said that her classmates saw that somebody from Copenhagen (where I live currently) accessed their mail and they also registered some logins from other cities all over our home country where my sister is.
TL;DR: Several phones shut down and reset itself to factory settings while saying they are updating software. All of them were signed into common email.

HI Community,
after a really long hiatus i am back to ask you guys something. My account or phone is acting really weird, from time to time it is deleting contacts from my synced google contacts list. Up to that the same number is often getting blocked at the same time on other apps like whatsapp, snapchat and instagram at the same time. It is a really weird thing and had sometimes happened several times for one contact out of my list. If it would be only facebook apps i could somehow understand it but in some kind of way the contact is getting blocked through a full list of apps.
In time it has occured for at least 5-10 different contacts on my smartphone, it does often get unnoticed but sometimes i´m looking through my blocked list (which is normally empty) and i do see that contacts are getting blocked again. As Example i was writing yesterday with someone and this morning i wanted to check the chat and it went to neverland. One close look into my list it showed me that the number got blocked again and at the same time on instagram too.
Up to that i do had the problem last year already and switched to a new smartphone so it might go away. But nevermind the problem is still there. I´m really afraid that someone has access to my phone because i couldn´t understand how the contacts are getting deleted themselves. RN i´m running a xiaomi mi9, no custom rom or anything, before that i was running a Oneplus 5. It is a weird problem and i would be glad if you could get me some advices.
BR,
Maurice

Most likely someone hacked your google account and wants to drive you crazy instead of just deleting all stuff at once. Change your password on your google account and every account that uses the same password. Use a password manager like Bitwarden or KeepassDX. Both are open source. Use a strong password to access those.
If the problem persist completely reflash your ROM with miflash.

Hi Sepm thanks for the fast reply. I´ve changed my password on 8th of july the last time and even activated the 2nd device control so i can only log me in if i do accept it on my phone.
Quick push
My next door neighbor is a sweet old lady who we occasionally invite over for dinner and take care of stuff for her (lawn mowing/weeding/spraying, etc....), and she has this LG Stylo 4 phone and her carrier is metro by t-mobile. Now I forgot exactly when this happened, but she had all of her contacts 86'd out of nowhere, and she claims that maybe her phone got hacked or something, I don't know
I fiddled enough with my phone and thought "maybe I can recover her contacts for her" since im the tech support for all modern hardware problems in my family (phone problems, computer problems and so on), but i'm hitting a roadblock on how I can get her contacts back without rooting her phone. I tried seeing if she had her contacts auto-backing up to whatever google service she was auto-set with, but none of her contacts were set to backup at all, and last time we ran into this problem was with my father, and by his words, it took about 6 months for his vanished contacts to magically re-appear somehow without his input
so, is there any non-root method available for me to get her contacts back, or will she have to re-add them one by one by memory?
so....I guess ill take the lack of any replies as there is no non-root method of restoring her contacts bar sending her phone to its respective manufacturer/dealer
kinda disappointed ngl
There's not much you can do unless she has a Google account linked to the phone or backed up her contacts with an app. As far as her contacts disappearing, it could be something as simple as settings, contacts settings, and view.. maybe she messed with the settings and accidentally clicked off of her phone for what contacts to view in settings. It has to be something simple because unless somebody's just trying to be an ass I don't see somebody hacking a little old lady's phone just to delete her contacts.
