To begin, the first thing you need to do is “root” your Android device. The app you'll need to download is called WhatsHack, which is obviously not available on the Play Store, so you'll have to look it up on some repository from the WEB.
Once you open the app, it will show you a list of all the active conversations from your WhatsApp, and all you need to do to begin the modification is click one of them.
Once you’re through with all of these changes, the conversation will look very different from the original, changing the received as well as sent messages. Then it’s just a matter of going back to WhatsApp, clicking on the conversation you previously edited, and you’re done! The conversation will look as if it really had happened that way.
Now all you have to do is Screenshot the conversation and prank your friends!
Serious thinking
Nowadays, it is very common in jury trials to present WhatsApp messages, SMS or comments on social media platforms as evidence of a crime. So, the following question comes to mind: can we really trust WhatsApp messages in a courtroom?
It is not uncommon to show WhatsApp messages to prove a person’s point when it comes to divorce processes or child custody, for example when one of the involved shows a text to discredit the other part, who claims they sent a text regarding a change on the pick up time or place of the child.
As we just showed on this post, it is really easy to alter these kinds of texts, all it takes is a little technological knowledge to install an app and modify said messages. So be careful and don’t be fooled by any screenshots you may see, as they are not very reliable.
Social media as evidence?
Personally, since social media is everywhere now, and not having anything else as evidence that could help me in one of these situations, I would be in favor of using them.
Let me know your opinion on the subject in the comment section below. If legal charges were pressed against you, would you appeal to social media on your defense?
