Title: How To Permanently Delete Your WhatsApp Account?
description: WhatsApp, the most popular instant messaging application owned by Facebook, is used by several million users around the world. The group of users of this platform is constantly growing day by day. The application becomes more interesting day by day as it receives new features that will benefit users. However, WhatsApp is also often mentioned due to its privacy policy. Earlier this year, WhatsApp revised its privacy policy and stated that only those users who accept the new privacy policy will be able to continue using the platform. There has also been speculation that users who do not accept the new terms will have limited functionality. While there is enough transparency now, many users have switched to competitors such as Telegram and Signal.
If you want to permanently delete your WhatsApp account, you can follow the steps listed below.
Step 1: Open WhatsApp.
Step 2: Go to Settings -> Account -> Delete My Account.
Step 3: Enter your mobile number in international format
Step 4: Select "Delete My Account".
Step 5: Choose the reason for deleting the account.
Step 6: Click Delete My Account.
Please note that deleting your WhatsApp account may take up to 90 days from the time you submit a request to delete your WhatsApp account and related information. Even if you delete your account, your friends will be able to view previous messages you've sent. As your account no longer exists, you will not appear in your friends' contacts list on the platform. You will be removed from all groups you belong to on WhatsApp. In addition, your number will be disconnected from WhatsApp. If you want to rejoin WhatsApp, you can reinstall the app with the same number and continue to use it. However, you will only get previous chats if you have backed up your data before deleting it. Deleting an account isn't as hard as it sounds.
