Unsubscribe from WhatsApp - is that possible?
If you want to save data volume, you can log out of WhatsApp. We explain in our article how this is possible without losing your account.
Android and iOS: Sign out of WhatsApp
You cannot log out of WhatsApp itself. The app runs continuously in the background and waits for new messages.
- So if you want to save data volume or battery, you should deactivate your mobile internet on iPhone and Android or remove WhatsApp.
- Alternatively, you can unsubscribe by deleting your entire WhatsApp account.
WhatsApp-Web: How to log out
Unlike the smartphone app, you can unsubscribe from WhatsApp Web at any time:
- Click on the icon with the three dots in the top right of your browser.
- In the drop-down menu, select the "Logout" option.
- If you want to use WhatsApp Web again later, you have to connect your browser to the smartphone again.
If you have a WhatsApp SIM card, you can also log out of the service. We'll show you how to cancel your WhatsApp SIM.
