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?
OMG! Very good!! :D
ResponderBorrarYaay!!
In my opinion, these messages should not be able to manipulate, modify information that is for somebody and not create a secure communication. Good article, Regards!
ResponderBorrarServers from this social media companies, save all this info, the problem, as the FBI with the Apple issue, information is DENIED. Even thou the companies have the access to it, they are not willing to provide it for legal purposes. By modifying it as you showed us, doesn't seem to be reliable source for legal evidence.
ResponderBorrarThat's true, the law will always be against you
BorrarI believe it should be up to the judge, because if we're talking about divorce or another small case and you need evidence about something you can get it from WhatsApp, cause it is a personal phone and it's not that common for a person to be hacked on an account Iike that. But if we're talking about a company or an economical factor I don't think you should use it because the people involved would know they have valuable information that could make them lose the case.
ResponderBorrarI've never really trusted screenshots or conversations on social media even before reading this article because they can be set up, but now thanks to your post I know they can also be manipulated even after you've sent them. Thanks for this information!
ResponderBorrarYou're welcome friend, now they can't fool you ;)
Borrar
ResponderBorrarIt's good information , but for me isn't useful because I don't have Android, but on the other hand, isn't a good idea what you're teaching , and you say that we can use texts in the courts and if so all we can modify these texts in our favor , so imagine the consequences of lying before the authorities could use it for fun with friends , but honestly not use it for cases where put into play my integrity or my freedom because you do not know if this is legal .
You should 'think different' :p and you should also change to Android if you're looking for more fun. I know, I know, but this info is for your knowledge, now I'm sure you'll never trust every screenshot again ;)
BorrarIf you say these messages can be used in a court room as evidence, I think a possibility is that authorities might close down the websites where you can download the WhatsHack app or any other similar ones, to prevent lying or false accusations, don't you think so?
ResponderBorrarprobably but you only can alter your own messages, in that case, the other part can show his own proves
BorrarHi, it looks like it won't work under IOS on my iPhone but a good friend of mine wants to use it on his What's Up group he started for fun so he'll be able to play jokes on them. Would you please post a link where he can find how to "root" his android Samsung Galaxy 4 phone?
ResponderBorrarLOL is WhatsApp not What's Up, you made me laugh, whatever I'll think about it while I share you this link www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg3RBM1Ejlo It's in spanish but easy to understand
BorrarGreat post! but I think posts like this or video tutorials on the subject will result in text messages being invalid as legal evidence in any case, because with this information out there more and more people will soon begin to alter their texts, so they won't be useful legally. But hey, I think it'll be great to prank friends!
ResponderBorrarAwesome, thanks for the info! I had no idea you could do that sort of thing. I think it'll be fun to play around with, but I wouldn't trust texts messages on a legal situation.
ResponderBorrarWow that's really interesting. I was wondering if you could make another post on how to root your phone? or maybe share a link to a post that's already been made? thanks.
ResponderBorrarHey I thought this post was really interesting, and that's an important question you make at the end, and it got me thinking: do you think someone else will make an app to detect when a text has been modified? can that be tracked somehow?
ResponderBorrarGreat post! thanks for sharing this info!! :)
ResponderBorrarI think this will not be a problem in jury trials because you're under oath and if you lied your charges would get worse or maybe you could be sent straight to jail for tampering evidence. and besides both parts always have people investigating the cases, so they should be able to find any inconsistencies, so I say go for it!
ResponderBorrarHey, my friend told me you'll help me out to root my cel, please post a reliable link of how-to so I can install such app with no harm. Thanks!
ResponderBorrarCan you do this with an iPhone??
ResponderBorrarAwesome, thanks for the info, Great post!
ResponderBorrarI am sooo gonna prank all my friends!! thanks for sharing this, great tutorial!
ResponderBorrarEverybody is cheating one way or another, so I think this is useless, just waste of time. Post something that really help people to accomplish a goal or to improve their lifestyle. Anonymous ;-)
ResponderBorrarAhhhh ha ha ha
ResponderBorrarIs this real or just a homework?
You've put all the text in English but the images are not!!
you got me!
BorrarMy native language is spanish, but I try to be multilanguage ;)
Ha! I knew we couldn't trust WhatsApp :/ but great post, very eye-opening.
ResponderBorrarAs far as I know, none of the social media or text messages are legally treated as real evidence when it comes to a court case. Sorry but I believe this only can be used for amusement. Anyways, thank you for such good post, it is always good to know new apps and their how to's.
ResponderBorrarNot many people know about this, and I don't think it is that common to cheat this way, so I still trust WhatsApp messages, and yeah, I guess if my life depended on it I would use them as evidence on a trial.
ResponderBorrarI've only seen social media used as evidence on TV, I don't really know if it happens that way in real life, so I guess there's nothing wrong with sharing this info just to have a good time with your friends :)
ResponderBorrarBe careful using this application, so many couples, even marriages have been broken apart due to simple posts on social media apps; if you changes the meaning of a serious message using what is posted here be responsible "A great power comes with a great responsibility"
ResponderBorrarLOL Spider-Man?!
Borrarit's for fun man, also if you don't trust in your wife or GF, you are lost, think about it
I've tried to install this text editing app but something went wrong when root my android tablet, are you sure it works fine on 'every' android device regardless of its operative system's version? Please advice c:
ResponderBorrarI'm a newbie on root or app installing process, would you please post your What's Up number so I can get a little help to set this up? I promise to not modify your messages :-)
ResponderBorrarYeah sure?! don't you want my credit card number too?
BorrarCool! It works just fine, my boyfriend has been fooled in first place. Good work, many Thanks!! cc::
ResponderBorrarThere's so many anonymous comments here, maybe because they have no good intentions like me Je Je Je We'll play as many jokes as we can not revealing that we can edit their messages. And it's because of you, thanks a lot!!
