  • WhatsApp may soon allow users to log out of their accounts on their phones.
  • It could introduce a new “Logout” option that temporarily disables WhatsApp without deleting user data or removing them from groups.
  • Currently, WhatsApp only allows users to delete their account on their primary device.

Although you can log out of your WhatsApp account on linked devices, the messaging app currently doesn’t let you log out on your primary phone. It only gives you the option to delete your WhatsApp account, which clears all your data and removes you from all groups. The delete account option isn’t ideal if you only want to disable WhatsApp on your phone temporarily. Thankfully, the chat app seems to have a better solution in the works.
