How long does WhatsApp keep the delivered data like images or etc. in the server?

WhatsApp does not store delivered data like images on its servers for an extended period. Once a message is delivered to the recipient, it is typically removed from WhatsApp's servers. The messages are stored locally on the user's device and can be backed up to cloud services like iCloud or Google Drive, depending on the user's settings24. However, if a message is undelivered, it may be stored on WhatsApp's servers for up to 30 days as the system attempts to deliver it3.

For compliance and legal purposes, businesses often use third-party archiving solutions to store WhatsApp data securely, as WhatsApp itself does not provide robust archiving capabilities15.
