• Go to the ‘Settings’ section.
• After that, if you go to the ‘Account’ option … then there will be an option called ‘Delete My Account’.

If you want to take your data …
If you want to collect your data in WhatsApp before deleting WhatsApp account, then it has an option. For this, first go to the settings of WhatsApp. If you go to the Account section, it will say ‘Request Account Information’. Clicking on it will send your request to WhatsApp. However, the data you have asked will not be immediately available to you. WhatsApp will take your request and create your data in the backend and send a notification. Then go to the ‘Request Info option’ in the old system and there it will say ‘Download’. Clicking download will download as a zip folder.
If you don’t want everything …
Deleting a WhatsApp account … not all chat is required. If you want to apply only a few .. then there is an option. To do this, open the respective account / group and click on the three dot icon at the top. It is called ‘export chat’. If you click on it, the chat will be exported and saved on your mobile phone. However, only text is available. If you want photos and videos too … then the export will be saved in things like Google Drive, Gmail.
