How to log out of your WhatsApp account on a computer - in detail?

To log out of your WhatsApp account on a computer, follow these detailed steps:

  1. Open WhatsApp Web or Desktop:

    • If you are using WhatsApp Web, open your preferred web browser and navigate to the WhatsApp Web page (web.whatsapp.com).
    • If you are using the WhatsApp Desktop app, click on the app icon to launch it.
  2. Access Your Account:

    • For WhatsApp Web: Scan the QR code displayed on the webpage with your phone's camera through the WhatsApp app. This will log you into your account.
    • For WhatsApp Desktop: The app should automatically detect and log you in if you have previously used it, or prompt you to scan a QR code if it's your first time.
  3. Locate the Logout Option:

    • Once logged in, look for the three-dot menu icon in the top-left corner of the screen (for WhatsApp Web) or the top-right corner (for WhatsApp Desktop).
  4. Log Out of Your Account:

    • Click on the three-dot menu icon.
    • In the dropdown menu that appears, select "Log out." This option might also be labeled as "Logout" or "Sign out," depending on your browser or app version.
  5. Confirm Logout:

    • A confirmation dialog may appear, asking if you are sure you want to log out. Click "Log out" or "OK" to confirm.
  6. Verify Logout:

    • After logging out, the screen will revert to the initial login state. For WhatsApp Web, you will see a blank page with the QR code prompting you to scan it again. For WhatsApp Desktop, the app may close automatically or return to the login screen.

By following these steps, you have successfully logged out of your WhatsApp account on a computer. This process ensures that no one can access your messages and personal information from that device.
