  • Technology How to delete yourself from WhatsApp forever: uninstalling the app does not work

WhatsApp has introduced a new feature in its application that allows users to

send messages without depending on their mobile phone

.

This is a giant step for the instant messaging app owned by Facebook that, to date, made WhatsApp accounts strongly linked to a mobile terminal and a specific phone number.

To date, for a user to be able to

send or receive WhatsApp messages, they

need to have the application open (turned on and operational) on the mobile with which it was associated with an

internet connection and battery

.

However, thanks to the new changes, the application

will no longer have this strong link with a phone number

with the application open and connected to the Internet, as is currently the case with the WhatsApp web version.

The changes, currently available in a beta version for Android and very soon available for iOS and the general public, involve

the reconversion of WhatsApp into a real multi-device app

, as is currently the case with its competitor Telegram.

WhatsApp "even if the battery is dead"

This new

WhatsApp

function will

allow you to send and receive messages "

even if your phone's battery is exhausted

."

Specifically,

WhatsApp can be used practically autonomously on up to four devices

(laptops, desktops, tablets or a mobile other than our main phone) without having to

depend on a single terminal

as is currently the case.

At the moment, the application is in the testing phase by a small group of users in charge of giving

feedback

to Facebook (the company that

owns WhatsApp

) in order to improve the functions of this application.

However, you will still need a card and a phone number to be able to

connect to WhatsApp.

WhatsApp adds security to your chats

Likewise, WhatsApp has been working for months on an

encryption system

that protects the backup copies stored in the cloud.

It is a function that is currently also in

beta

phase

and that will be incorporated to the general public in the

next final versions

.

To encrypt files in the cloud,

WhatsApp will ask users for a password

.

A password that, according to the company, will be totally private and they maintain that neither WhatsApp, Facebook, Google or Apple will know what it is.

That is, in the case of users who decide to encrypt their conversations and

forget their passwords, they will not be able to access their conversation history

, according to the

WABetaInfo

portal

.

Likewise, in addition to the password,

WhatsApp

will offer the possibility of protecting the conversation histories with a

64-digit encryption key

.

However, as with the password, if the user loses it,

there will be no way to regain access

to their conversation history on your WhatsApp.
