What do people see if WhatsApp is deleted - in detail?
When a user deletes their WhatsApp account, the visibility of their information to others undergoes several changes. Initially, the contact will still appear in other users' contact lists with the user's name and phone number. However, any messages or media exchanged with that user will no longer be accessible. Here is a detailed breakdown of what people see if WhatsApp is deleted:
-
Contact Information: The contact's name and phone number will remain visible in other users' contact lists. This allows others to recognize who the contact was, but they cannot initiate new conversations or view past interactions with that user.
-
Messages: All previous messages sent to or from the deleted account will disappear from both sides of the conversation. Users will see a notification indicating that the messages have been deleted. If a user tries to forward or share these messages, an error message will appear stating that the content is no longer available.
-
Media: Any photos, videos, voice notes, and documents shared by the deleted account will be inaccessible. Attempts to view this media will result in an error message indicating that the file cannot be found or has been deleted.
-
Groups: The user's name will be removed from any group chats they were part of. Other members of the group can still see the message history, but any messages sent by the deleted account will no longer be visible. If the user was an admin, the group settings may need to be adjusted to remove their administrative privileges.
-
Status and Profile Picture: The user's last seen status, online status, profile picture, and about section will no longer be visible to other users. Attempting to view this information will result in a message stating that the user is not available or has deleted their account.
-
Call Logs: Any call logs associated with the deleted account will also disappear from both sides of the conversation. Users will see an error message if they try to access these logs.
In summary, while the contact's name and phone number remain visible, all communications and media shared by the deleted account become inaccessible. This ensures that users cannot view or retrieve any information from the deleted WhatsApp account.
