Lawyer Clarifies Legality of WhatsApp Screenshots
The article focused on the importance and quality of electronic evidence, especially conversations on applications such as WhatsApp and emails, as legal means to prove rights and facts. Lawyer Mansour Al-Dosari explained that electronic conversations become legally admissible evidence when certain conditions are met, foremost among them being the ability of both parties to identify the sender and receiver, providing an accurate sequence of the conversation, establishing a direct link to the dispute itself, and avoiding corrections or modifications. He also emphasized that a screenshot is considered strong evidence if its authenticity and ownership are verified, with the original required when necessary. He pointed out that the validity of the evidence does not change based on whether it comes from WhatsApp, text messages, or email, as long as it meets legal requirements. Additionally, the court may accept electronic evidence even if the opposing party refuses to acknowledge its validity, provided there are other proofs of its authenticity, such as the acknowledgment of the other party or the original document.
