Unless you have a way to access the phone internal memory unfortunately not.

( That's why I'm such a fan of Telegram)
Sounds like the motherboard is shot after the download.

It's really starting to get annoying. Is there a single cause for these outages? Does it just get overloaded?

What happens if the admin leaves a group? Who gets control everybody? Nobody?
Does it turn into the wild west?

Another admin is automatically appointed. I'm not sure how it determines who though.

Make everyone admins and sit back to enjoy the fireworks.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Quite possible, that would make the most sense.

Is there any way to get my What's app chats recovered from a phone that won't turn on? I forgot to back up my What's app chats before the phone died, so the last backup was a yr ago.
