How to remove the WhatsApp Web window - in detail?

To remove the WhatsApp Web window, you can follow these detailed steps:

  1. Open WhatsApp Web: First, ensure that you have WhatsApp Web open on your computer. You can access it by navigating to web.whatsapp.com and scanning the QR code with your phone.
  2. Locate the Close Button: Once you are logged in and using WhatsApp Web, look for the close button (often represented as an 'X' or a cross) on the top-right corner of the window. This button is usually present regardless of whether you are using the app in full-screen mode or not.
  3. Click the Close Button: Simply click on this close button. Doing so will immediately start the process of closing the WhatsApp Web window.
  4. Confirm Closure (if prompted): In some cases, a confirmation dialog may appear asking if you are sure you want to close WhatsApp Web. If this happens, click 'OK' or 'Yes' to confirm and proceed with the closure.

  5. Check Task Manager (for persistent issues): If for some reason the window does not close properly and remains open, you can manually end the process using your computer’s task manager. Here’s how:

    • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager.
    • Under the 'Processes' tab, locate WhatsApp Web or any related background processes (such as Chrome if you are using it for WhatsApp Web).
    • Select the process and click 'End Task'.

  6. Log Out from Another Device: If you want to ensure that no other devices can access your WhatsApp account via WhatsApp Web, go to the settings on your phone:

    • Open WhatsApp on your mobile device.
    • Go to 'Settings' > 'WhatsApp Web/Desktop'.
    • Look for the option to log out from all computers and click it. This will deactivate all active sessions, effectively removing access from any other devices.

By following these steps, you can successfully remove the WhatsApp Web window and ensure that your account is securely logged out on any device where WhatsApp Web was previously active.
