Answer

How can families check whether a WhatsApp message from a missing person is real?

A WhatsApp message can be checked by looking at writing style, language, timing and technical details such as the account activity or SIM card status. If a message feels unusual, families should ask investigators to review metadata and other digital traces instead of relying on the text alone. In a missing-person case involving Mallorca, that kind of verification can be crucial.
