The steps to delete the WhatsApp account

A phone number cannot be used for WhatsApp Business or the consumer app once it has been registered on the WhatsApp Business API. It is possible to upgrade a phone number to the WhatsApp Business API but not the reverse.

To delete your account

1. Open WhatsApp.
2. Tap More options > Settings > Account > Delete my account.
3. Enter your phone number in full international format and tap DELETE MY ACCOUNT.
4. Select a reason for why you're deleting your account in the dropdown.
5. Tap DELETE MY ACCOUNT.

 

Deleting your account will:

• Delete your account from WhatsApp.
• Erase your message history.
• Delete you from all of your WhatsApp groups.
• Delete your backup.
