Hi so something strange happened today. My partner's number from the devices that have been taken has been removed from all our group chats. We had group chats for our friend groups and our family.

He obviously hasn't done this himself as he doesn't have access to the phone. Would this be something the police have done?

It's very odd.. they took his devices in feb but this has just happened today. Are the police allowed to do this and if it's on purpose then is there a reason? Surely they should also tell someone if they've done this?

I just checked and yes it has! That's extremely weird does it mean they have no itention of giving it back if they're removing things?

Also so odd that this has happened around the same time for us!!

WhatsApp deactivates accounts after 120 days of inactivity. I remember thinking all sorts of crazy things at the time but after googling it I found this out xxx

Thank you distressed and pregnant. It did set my mind off as I thought maybe the police had done this and wondering if it meant they'd found something and wouldn't give devices back. Still no clearer on what is going on with those..
