It Comes after Scottish ministers faced criticism last week for not handing over their messages.
The UK inquiry was told by a lawyer that 70 individuals were asked for their WhatsApp messages, but " very few appear to have been retained".

He highlighted that Ms Sturgeon announced in May 2020 that there would be a Scottish Covid inquiry, which was later confirmed in August 2021.
Mr Anwar said: " From May 2020, if there was a position of auto-delete, if there was a situation where government ministers and senior civil servants were deleting their WhatsApps, it should have been ordered to stop.
" We want to know when was the deletion brought in, who ordered it, why was it not ordered to be stopped?
" And did they continue after The Event ? Because that's deletion of material. "
The Scottish Government said it was committed to co-operating with The Inquiry and providing any requested material that it holds.
Deputy First Minister Shona Robison said: " The Scottish Government records management policy makes clear what must be recorded in the official record, given that it isn't practical, cost-effective or necessary for any organisation to retain every exchange.
" While it is not the culture within Scottish Government to use WhatsApp for decision-making, our records management policy states clearly that government decisions, however they are made, should be recorded in the official record. "
A spokesperson for Ms Sturgeon said she would continue to provide all information requested by the UK and Scottish Covid inquiries.
They said: " She has recently submitted Her Third written statement to the UK inquiry - Running to around 200 Pages - and expects to give oral evidence again next year when she will answer all questions put to her. "
