Where do my messages go?
Nowhere. They stay on your PC, encrypted with your Windows account.

No. It keeps messages that arrive after you set it up.
What it can't doWhy does Windows warn me?
The installer isn't signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway.
What MsgSaver keeps
It reads your chats the same way the WhatsApp and Instagram websites do, and holds on to what people take back.
Edited messages
When someone edits a message, MsgSaver keeps the first version next to the new one.

Privacy mode
Read chats and watch stories in MsgSaver's WhatsApp or Instagram window without the other person knowing you did.
- No blue ticks or "Seen" when you read a chat
- Watch stories and statuses without showing up in the viewer list
- No "typing..." while you write a reply
- Play voice notes without the blue "played" mic, and no "recording audio..." (WhatsApp)
Turn it on in MsgSaver, then open the chat from the tray menu (Show WhatsApp window). Replying or reacting still shows you saw it. Not in the Microsoft Store version.

PC was off?
It still finds out.
When MsgSaver starts again, it checks your chats for messages that were deleted while it wasn't running and lists them for you.
- If it saw the message before, you get the full text back.
- If it never saw it, you still learn who deleted something, where and when.
- Turn on Start with Windows and it's in the tray before you open a chat.

There is no MsgSaver account and no cloud. The app talks to WhatsApp and Instagram, and keeps what it saves on your PC.
- Saved messages are encrypted with your Windows account.
- Messages nobody deletes are thrown away after a few days.
- You choose how long recovered messages are kept, and can wipe them in one click.
- Anonymous diagnostics (version, Windows, rough location, error reports, never message text) help fix bugs. Turn Send diagnostics off and only a small check-in is left.

Questions
Does the other person know I use MsgSaver?
MsgSaver doesn't send them anything or reply for you. To WhatsApp and Instagram it is the website open on your PC, the same as using it in a browser.
What does Privacy mode hide?
When you read in MsgSaver's WhatsApp or Instagram window with Privacy mode on: no blue ticks or "Seen", no "typing...", and you don't show up in story or status viewers. On WhatsApp it also hides that you played a voice note and that you're recording one. It doesn't hide your online status, and replying or reacting still shows you saw the message. Reading on your phone works as usual. Website version only, not the Microsoft Store version.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every feature is free and there is no account to create.
Can my account get banned?
MsgSaver uses the normal WhatsApp Web and Instagram websites and only reads what they show you. It doesn't send messages for you or use your account in any unusual way. Still, it is not made by Meta, and Meta's terms don't cover third-party apps, so we can't promise anything on their behalf.
Does my PC have to stay on?
To catch the text of a message, MsgSaver has to be running when the message arrives. If the PC was off, it still tells you about deletes it finds when it starts again, but it can only show text it saw before.
Which apps does it work with?
WhatsApp (through WhatsApp Web) and Instagram direct messages. Both can be connected at the same time.
How do I remove it?
Windows Settings, Apps, MsgSaver, Uninstall. To delete your saved messages too, use Delete all recovered messages in the app's Settings first.
How does it update?
It checks for updates by itself and installs them when you quit the app, or right away if you click Restart to update in the tray menu.
