  1. Uninstalling WhatsApp:

    • Locate the WhatsApp app among your installed applications.
    • Tap and hold the WhatsApp app until a context menu appears at the top of the screen.
    • Drag the WhatsApp app to the "Uninstall" option that should appear on the screen.
    • Confirm the uninstallation by tapping "OK" when prompted. This will remove the WhatsApp application from your Huawei phone.
  2. Deleting WhatsApp Data:

    • After uninstalling, you may want to delete any residual data associated with WhatsApp for a clean slate.
    • Go to "Settings" on your Huawei phone by tapping on the gear icon in the notification shade or from the App Drawer.
    • Navigate to "Apps" and then find "WhatsApp" in the list of apps (it might still be listed even after uninstallation).
    • Tap on "WhatsApp" and then select "Storage."
    • Here, you can clear data by tapping on "Clear Data." This will remove any cached information or data related to WhatsApp.
  3. Removing WhatsApp from Internal Storage:

    • If you want to ensure that no remnants of the WhatsApp app remain in your internal storage, you can use a file manager.
    • Open the File Manager app on your Huawei phone (it might come pre-installed or you can download one from the Google Play Store).
    • Navigate to "Internal Storage" and then go to the "Android" folder.
    • Look for a folder named "data" and within it, find a subfolder with a name that starts with "com.whatsapp." This is where WhatsApp-related data might still reside.
    • Delete this folder by tapping on the three dots in the top-right corner of the screen and selecting "Delete."
  4. Backup (Optional but Recommended):

    • Before deleting WhatsApp, it is advisable to backup your chats and media to avoid losing important information.
