> A lot of WhatsApp's features are enforced client-side, which means on Web they just break with DevTools. This is true. IIRC, there is also a "bug", I think it's unfixable due to WhatsApp's nature at the time, where you can send a message with a tampered quoted reply. It's also done in the DevTools by modifying the quoted message ID to something that doesn't exist.

I've never experienced that, it does sound like a silly problem

I'm sorry. It's online now.

At least they should encrypt the messages instead of making it seems like it's encrypted. AFAIK, in the mobile WhatsApp, locked chats will get wiped without screen lock or secret code. They make it seem like it's practically impossible to recover the messages without doing real crypto stuff on the locked chats' messages.

Rest in peace Bram. You forever changed my life.
