Meta-owned WhatsApp is reportedly developing a feature that will let users temporarily log out of the messaging app without deleting their account data.
This option, which was found in the WhatsApp v2.25.17.37 beta release, gives users the choice to maintain or delete their app data and preferences if they log out on their primary device.
At present, the only way for users to sign out of the mobile app is either to delete the app’s data via device settings on Android devices, or remove the app entirely on iOS devices.
There is no clarity on when this feature will be available to the public, or if it will be available on both Android and iOS devices.
