WhatsApp contains a lot of personal and sensitive information of the user. If you lose your phone then your WhatsApp account and personal information may fall into the wrong hands.
WhatsApp is one of the most used messaging platforms in the country. From personal chat to business communication, many people use this app. However the app works only when your device is connected to the internet.
WhatsApp Chat contains a lot of personal and sensitive information of the user. Have you ever thought what would happen if you lost your device? If this happens, your account and personal information may fall into the wrong hands. Therefore, here we are telling you how you can decide that your WhatsApp account has not been accessed by any stranger. Also you can use it again.
Lock sim
The first step will be to call your network device provider and get your SIM card locked so that no one can access your WhatsApp account.
New sim card
Once you lock your SIM card, you will need a new SIM card with the same number to activate WhatsApp on your phone.
Deactivate account
To deactivate your account, you have to send an email to the company. The main part of the mail should contain “Lost / Stolen: Please deactivate my account” and your phone number in full international format (with +91 which is used as the prefix for the Indian number).
Message stays in store for 30 days
Once the account is deactivated, for 30 days, people in your contact will be able to see your profile and send messages. Once you activate the account again, the pending messages can be restored on a new device. However, if you do not activate your account within 30 days, then this data will be deleted.
Use wifi
If you do not want to contact the company with a deactivated request, you can also use WhatsApp with the help of WiFi.
