Without a doubt, WhatsApp is arguably one of the best instant messaging apps you can use on your Android, iOS or even your PC. But these days it seems a bit worrying to use WhatsApp and their recent change in their privacy policy is one of the reasons to ditch this app.

In the recent change in WhatsApp’s privacy policy, it was stated that all its users should agree to the new privacy policy on or before February 8th.

Amongst these privacy updates, they stated that they work with third parties, which means our information’s being shared outside WhatsApp and Facebook. A statement from WhatsApp is Quoted below.

We work with third-party service providers and other Facebook Companies [which includes Messenger, Instagram, Oculus, and Portal] to help us operate, provide, improve, understand, customise, support, and market our Services

That doesn’t sound good, does it? Well, despite WhatsApps record of 1.5 Billion active users, some don’t use WhatsApp due to their privacy policy, you could be one of them, but first, how do you get your data off WhatsApp completely? This article will teach you how to delete your WhatsApp account completely on Android & iOS.
