How to delete WhatsApp from a Huawei phone - in detail?

Deleting WhatsApp from a Huawei phone involves several steps, including uninstalling the app and removing associated data to ensure a clean removal. Here is a detailed guide on how to accomplish this:

First, it's essential to back up your WhatsApp data if you wish to retain any conversations or media files. This can be done by going to WhatsApp settings, navigating to the "Chats" section, and selecting "Backup." Follow the prompts to create a backup of your chats on Google Drive.

Once the backup is complete, you can proceed with uninstalling WhatsApp:

  1. Uninstall WhatsApp:

    • Open the app drawer by swiping up from the bottom of your Huawei phone's home screen.
    • Locate the WhatsApp icon and tap and hold it until a context menu appears.
    • Select "Uninstall" from the menu. Confirm the action if prompted.
  2. Remove WhatsApp Data:

    • After uninstalling, you may want to clear any remaining data associated with WhatsApp. This ensures that no residual files are left on your device.
    • Go to "Settings" on your Huawei phone.
    • Scroll down and tap on "Apps."
    • In the list of apps, find and tap on "WhatsApp." Note that it might still appear even after uninstallation.
    • Tap on "Storage & cache."
    • Select "Clear Storage" to remove any remaining data associated with WhatsApp.
  3. Delete Backup Files (Optional):

    • If you have previously backed up your WhatsApp chats to Google Drive and no longer need those backups, you can delete them from the cloud:
      • Open the Google Drive app on your phone or access it via a web browser.
      • Locate the folder named "WhatsApp."
      • Delete any backup files within this folder that you no longer require.
  4. Remove WhatsApp from Recent Apps (Optional):

    • Sometimes, apps might still appear in the recent apps list even after uninstallation. To remove WhatsApp from there:
      • Swipe up from the bottom of your screen to open the recent apps overview.
      • Locate the WhatsApp card and swipe it away to the side or tap on the "Close all" button if you wish to clear all recent apps.

By following these steps, you can effectively delete WhatsApp from your Huawei phone and ensure that no residual data remains on your device.
