lensimm Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Hi, Is there any way I can insert a message between two old messages on WhatsApp, to make it appear as though that message was sent at the time, rather than now? I want the other person in the conversation to see the message as well, not just me. If it helps, I'm using a Samsung galaxy s4 mini with android. Thanks Quote
Mr-Protocol Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I'm not sure why you would want to do that, but I'm going to say no unless I'm proven wrong. Quote
lensimm Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 Well I hope you are! Though I can see how it seems impossible... It's kind of a long story, to do with an argument with a friend. Quote
cooper Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I'd be AMAZED (and very VERY disappointed) if the timestamp of your message was determined by you. If you set back the date on your phone and send an app to someone, does it show your doctored date? Quote
lensimm Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 No, I'm quite sure the time is based on the other person's phone. Quote
cooper Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Not the network itself (i.e. the WA servers) putting it in? Quote
Mr-Protocol Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I am sure I could figure out how to fabricate it pretty easily on the devices if I had both (for the scenario explained in the OP). But to send over the wire that way is not something you could do IMO. Quote
Adam Ierymenko Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 WhatsApp encrypts with a single hard-coded never-changing global AES key, so it's basically plain text. Probably wouldn't be hard to do this. Quote
bytedeez Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Why not try some social engineering and take a screen shot of the original message and photo edit the added text. Just make sure to pay attention to every detail Quote
