Not really. WhatsApp do store messages on their servers for sometime.

Clean data and uninstall the app from your Android, uninstall the app and then install again. WhatsApp you ask if you want to recover some of your history.

I think that's due to the app making a local backup on the device.

"WhatsApp automatically makes backups every day at 4 AM and stores them in the WhatsApp folder of your Android phone."

You're right, I just removed Whatsapp and that folder and now it didn't ask me to recover.
