I&#x27;m confused. As far as I know WhatsApp does not archive any messages on its servers. Messages are only kept there temporarily until they are delivered to the recipient and then they are deleted.<p>This is also what WhatsApp states in its legal documentation: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whatsapp.com&#x2F;legal&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whatsapp.com&#x2F;legal&#x2F;</a> : 
&quot;The contents of messages that have been delivered by the WhatsApp Service are not copied, kept or archived by WhatsApp in the normal course of business.&quot;<p>Furthermore, messages are end-to-end encrypted. So how could WhatsApp comply to the judge&#x27;s demand?
