For years, close session at WhatsApp It has been a little intuitive task and, in many cases, almost impossible to make without consequences. If you have ever considered disconnecting from the app without deleting your account or losing all your data, you will know what we are talking about: in Android you have to erase the data manually from the system settings and on iPhone there is no other than to uninstall the application completely.
But that is about to change. Goal is working in a highly anticipated function, and has to do with the possibility of Close session in a simple way And without having to give up your messages, photos and stickers, or lose your configurations.
Close session at WhatsApp without losing anything
This new option has been discovered by the Android Authority website in the Beta 2.25.17.37 WhatsApp for Android. The function is called “Logout (internal)” and, as the name implies, it is still in the development phase. However, it already allows you to see how it will work in the future. It will be located in the user adjustments, just below the delete account button, and will offer two alternatives: closing session erasing all data and preferences, or close session keeping them intact.
What could this be? The possibilities are many. For example, if you have a mobile without dual SIM and you need to change your account temporarily, so far the only solution was to juggle the device configuration or Use a cloned app. With this future function, you can close session of your main account, log in with another, and then return to the original without disappearing or a single conversation. It is also useful if you simply want to disconnect a few days without receiving messages, but without uninstalling anything.
The most curious thing about this novelty is that it is something that already existed, but only in part. WhatsApp Web and the desktop app has been easily closing session from the user's profile. However, on mobile devices, which are the core of WhatsApp experience, this option has shone by its absence. The arrival of this function to the mobile is an important step towards a more flexible experience between platforms.
For now, It is not clear when it will be officially launched Not if it will arrive both in Android and iOS at the same time. Since the current process to close session is different in each operating system, it is possible that the implementation is not simultaneous either. Goal has not spoken about it, but the simple fact that this function is already in tests is a good sign. In addition, the fact that the name includes “(internal)” indicates that changes can still occur before the final launch.
So, if you are tired of tricks and forced solutions to stop receiving messages for a few days, this news will cheer up. It will not be necessary to be an advanced user or go through hidden adjustments of the system, since from very soon, with a simple touch, you can say until then to WhatsApp without perceiving anything. And that, in the middle of 2025, although it is totally necessary, it is an advance.
