Know How Whatsapp Can Delete Your Account after 45 Days of Inactivity!

WhatsApp states in its FAQ section that in order to preserve security, minimise data retention, and safeguard our customers' privacy, WhatsApp accounts are normally deactivated after 120 days of inactivity. If an account is not connected to the internet, it is termed inactive. 

Inactivity indicates that the person has not connected to WhatsApp.

How WhatsApp Can Delete Your Account?

An internet connection is necessary to activate an account. If a person has WhatsApp open on their smartphone but is not connected to the internet, the account will be marked as inactive.

WhatsApp has verified, however, that material kept locally on a user's smartphone prior to account cancellation would be retained until WhatsApp is uninstalled from the device. When a user reregisters for WhatsApp on the same device, their previously saved material will be restored. 

In circumstances where the identical account number appears to have been allocated to a new user, WhatsApp can terminate an account after only 45 days of inactivity. 

According to WhatsApp, if an account is inactive for 45 days and then reactivated on a different mobile device, it is a hint that the number has been recycled. WhatsApp will then delete the previous account data associated with the phone number, such as the profile photo and the About section. 

Every WhatsApp account is linked to a mobile phone number. Because phone numbers are frequently recycled by cell operators, it's conceivable that the former owner of the phone number utilised the account with WhatsApp. The deletion aids in the recycling of such accounts. 

In a significant development, the Facebook-owned popular instant messaging application WhatsApp is introducing a new function for its users all around the world. In the coming months, WhatsApp users will be able to access their accounts from up to four connected devices.

Will Cathcart, the messaging app's CEO, made the statement during an interview with WABetaInfo, a website that analyses Whatsapp. According to the report, WhatsApp on iPad may be supported in the future months due to the multi-device function, according to the news agency IANS.
