Strange question here but I text someone back and fourth a few times this weekend and today her texts have completely disappeared from my phone?

Searched around a lot on Google on ways to remove messages you sent from other people's phones and came across a few apps that say they can do it...

Wiper & Tiger Text

Wiper doesn't even get past the sign up screen, says it's sending you a verification code and doesn't ever come.

Tiger Text shows up on the recipients phone but has a URL saying someone just sent you an encrypted message via Tiger Text.

Presumably it will only be able to do it if both phones have the app installed.

e.g. both apps have permission to read, write and delete messages. App from phone 1 tells phone 2 to delete a specific message. It can do because the same app has permission to do so o phone 2.

This is why you need to be careful with what apps you have and what permissions they require. I wouldn't want anyone else to be able to read my messages (not that I have anything to hide).

Seems like a grey area in data protection law?

@sickpup - Fortunately, I don't have a wife or a GF, forever alone!

Nobody touched my phone, it was on the side the whole weekend whilst I was working (self employed).

The plot thickens though, turns out this girl is pretty famous herself and her boyfriend is famous.

Not saying who she is or who her BF is though, it's bad enough that she has one.

This is why it got me thinking, do celebs have tools/apps available to them to help them do this kind of thing?

Honestly sounds like I'm tripping balls here but I've never seen text messages from someone else get removed from MY phone like that before.

Celebs can't even change the default answer phone password (re: phone hacking) so I doubt they can manage removing emails from another's phone remotely.

To be fair, all that stuff, the snowden stuff etc has woken people up about this kind of thing happening.

Anyway, still baffled and now the number is dead. Really fucking strange!

Of course you're baffled; without some form of remote access app (spyware, pre-installed or something you installed) it's simply not possible. And 'celebs' are normal people, just some have a little more money than the rest of us... And if you're talking soap stars then maybe not even that...

Anyway, what phone? What do you mean by texts? Proper SMS or whatsapp or similar?

Have you tried any SMS recovery software?

The dead number is probably just you being blocked. Either that or it was all in your head Wink

No they don't. The only people who could do it are those who found a fundamental vulnerability in the OS of the phone you are operating. Such explots get used for money making stuff before they get patched, they aren't wasted on crap. Most likely someone with physical access to the handset, probably her Laughing

SMS messages. She text me 4 times in total, I text her back twice. When I went to look at my phone on Monday, her texts had vanished and it looked like I was having a conversation with myself.

Not tried SMS recovery, she's probably blocked my number now and that's fine, not really arsed, just really bugging me how her text have vanished.

She had a Blackberry if that's any use?

She's only famous because of him.

The whole thing is bizzare Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Name her, name him. Or it must be concluded that you're making shit up.

I saw elsewhere you have an S3... Now... if she had a decent team behind her (quite possible with that many twitter followers) and she got your ip somehow, she *could* exploit a bit of Samsung supplied spyware to do all kinds of things to your phone.

It is much, much more likely to be user error though. Just like geysers of sh!t at findus... Possible but very, very unlikely.

Just had a look at twitter ratings and there are no males with 20+million followers with girlfriends with 4+million followers.

Could be wrong, was just a quick look but is this another one of your revelations?

Certainly can... Especially with an integrated messaging app that makes all messages look the same... My (windows) phone combines FB and texts and makes them almost indistinguishable.

One way to find out.

Log into facebook and check your inbox. If your messages to her are there, it was a facebook message and explains how they vanished.

Agreed the only one I could find around the right numbers were Louis tomlinson with 17.3 million and Eleanor Calder with 3.6 million.

Well it whiled away a few minutes anyway Smile

Dont forget to check the "other" folder if she is no longer a friend.

It's not them, I inflated the numbers by a lot on both of them so it's not easy to guess.

It's turning in to a guessing game now, which it doesn't matter, more arsed about my bricked phone Very Happy

Was the S3 that is now fucked, yes.

Waiting on repair shop to tell me what's wrong with it.
