  1. I can't find a link to this but I'm sure I've read an article about what happens when you "report" a message someone sent to you in WhatsApp. In this case some reviewer at Meta will look at your message and determine if it violated the rules. IIRC the article talked about them most likely being added to the chat but not visible.
