WhatsApp to enable users to log out of their accounts without losing any data: Here's how it will work

WhatsApp stands as the largest instant messaging app used across the globe, boasting over 3.5 billion users. To continually enhance user experience, the platform regularly introduces new features. Currently, WhatsApp is working on an exciting new option that will allow users to log out of their devices, including their primary one. At the moment, the only choice available is to delete the account, which results in the loss of all data. This upcoming logout feature is said to give users the freedom to take a break from WhatsApp or switch accounts without losing any app data stored on their smartphone.

Recently, a logout option was uncovered by Android Authority and AssembleDebug during a teardown of the WhatsApp beta for Android. It appears to be in development or possibly being tested internally. According to reports, this feature will be located under Settings > Account. The new logout option will present users with three choices: Erase all Data and Preferences, Keep all Data and Preferences, and Cancel. Selecting the first option will wipe all chats from the device, while the second allows users to retain their data in case they choose to log back in later.

If users opt for the “Keep all Data and Preferences” choice, they will be logged out of their account, but their chats, files, and other media will remain on the phone. This way, when they log back in, all of their content will be easily accessible.

This feature could prove extremely beneficial for users looking to take a break from WhatsApp, rather than having to delete their accounts entirely.
