The present study aims to analyze the jurisprudential positioning of the Courts of Justice of the States of Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, and the Superior Court of Justice on the lawfulness or not of using the WhatsApp application as a means of proof, to configure the crime of drug trafficking. More precisely, about the necessity or not of judicial authorization to verify the messages stored in the mobile phone. The present research can be classified as: level, exploratory; qualitative approach; in terms of data collection, bibliographical and documentary. About the results obtained, it was verified that, in the State Courts, in the total universe of 46 judgments, 36 of these considered licit the use of the application, where in 25 cases the judicial authorization was considered dispensable to access the content stored in the smartphone. On the other hand, regarding the Superior Court of Justice, the majority view is that access to data stored in the mobile phone, without proper judicial authorization, is unlawful. Of the universe of research of 17 judged, in 13 of these the access was considered illicit. From the present research, it is possible to show the divergence between the State Courts' understandings in relation to the current position of the Superior Court. While for the States Court’ the judicial authorization is dispensable to the access of the data stored in the mobile device when there is a flagrant arrest; the Superior Court deems the judicial review as necessary, to the point of considering the evidence illegally obtained, and therefore, considering that it should be disregarded in the case.
