JAKARTA - WhatsApp may be a messaging app that you usually use. However, if you want to switch to another app, and don't want to use it anymore, you can easily delete your WhatsApp account.

Unfortunately, WhatsApp only offers one option if you want to leave the platform, which is that you can only delete your account. You can't turn off arbitrary like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

What HAPPENED When You Deleted a WhatsApp Account?

According to its official website, the platform will process deletion of your data and everything related to the account within 90 days. This means that WhatsApp user information will remain in backup storage for that time limit.

But you don't need to worry, because the process of removing information takes quite a long time, it will not affect the information that WhatsApp users have, such as resolving messages that users send to other users in the conversation box.

That way, it's important for you to export your messages if you're planning to switch from other WhatsApp apps like Telegram, or whatever it is.

If you already understand the risks, now you can follow these steps to delete your WhatsApp account.
