Help with Whats App

[SundownOnTheStair]

I'm trying to find a message that was sent to me about 10 days ago on Whats App.
I can't find it and I need to.
I know I read it because I acted on it and now it''s not there.
Could the sender have deleted it?

If they did it would say that the message had been deleted.

Plus they can only delete it for you if you haven't read it.

Try the search function

You can search within WA for a certain word or phrase to help you to find things.

You can search within whatsapp for a word or part or word, or phrase.

Was this in a group chat or 1:1?

Could you have possibly archived it? Check your archives!

It was a 1:1. It isn't there and I know I read it because I acted on what the message said.
The only odd thing about my messages from this person is that one appears with their name at the top of the actual message-none of the others d0 and it has a purple line at the right-hand side. I can only read the first line of this message but I'm sure the rest of it contains the information I acted upon.

I have searched for the appropriate word-thanks for this idea but it hasn't worked.

That's not true. It can be deleted even if someone has read it.

Check in the archived chats you may have clicked it by accident

You can set disappearing messages on WhatsApp. Maybe they used it. I think it tells you it will disappear but can’t be 100% sure as I haven’t used that feature.
