Delete whatsapp from phone and still access it on a laptop or tablet
WhatsApp is not private – but once upon a time, it was
tldr: WhatsApp is not private; Also, it can be deleted from the phone and accessed elsewhere. This may improve the situation slightly. The apps from Signal.org may be considered as it is a very popular and well-designed alternative.
WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption is not as private as it seems.
A loophole in the system allows the recipient of a message to flag it, which copies the message and sends it to Facebook for review. This means that Facebook can access the content of the flagged message, despite WhatsApp’s claims of end-to-end encryption.
Metadata Collection
WhatsApp also collects metadata, which includes information about the message such as the sender, recipient, time sent, and sender location. This metadata is stored by WhatsApp and can be accessed by Facebook. While the content of the message is encrypted, the metadata is not, making it possible for Facebook to track user activity and behavior.
WhatsApp’s Connection to Facebook
As a Facebook-owned company, WhatsApp’s data is shared with Facebook. This means that Facebook can access user data, including messages, contacts, and other information. WhatsApp’s privacy policy states that it shares limited amounts of data with Facebook, which can be used to improve the services offered by both companies.
WhatsApp’s Status Feature
WhatsApp’s Status feature, similar to Instagram Stories, is not private. Anyone in your WhatsApp contacts can view your Status updates, even if they are not online. This means that your Status updates can be seen by anyone who has your phone number, regardless of whether they are online or not.
Tips for Making Your WhatsApp Account More Private and Secure
- Be cautious when sharing sensitive information on WhatsApp.
- Use two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security to your account.
- Regularly update your WhatsApp app to ensure you have the latest security patches.
- Avoid sharing your phone number with unknown contacts.
- Use a strong password and keep it confidential.
- Open WhatsApp web, or other client app to read chats, then delete from the phone, as a minor reduction in privacy risks.
In conclusion, while WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption provides a high level of security, there are still ways for Facebook to access user data and metadata. Additionally, WhatsApp’s Status feature is not private, and users should be cautious when sharing information on the platform. By following the tips above, you can take steps to make your WhatsApp account more private and secure.

Did Biden pre-approve Iran’s attack?
Why is the USA so concerned with the Mullahs saving face to maintain their tyranny over the Middle East?
Simultaneously, USA published open statements by Charles Schumer and Joe Biden calling for the overthrow of the Israeli government.
That’s exactly the opposite of what the USA should do.
Iran responds to this US kindness by complaining to the UNSC:
Jerusalem Post, 16 April 2024 pg 2.
It’s possible that the Israeli military was secretly warned about this plan, or on the other hand, perhaps Israel was purposely kept in the dark if CENTCOM lied to Israel 2 days before the attack:

“My friend Matthew posted a meme declaring “the first direct flights between Iran and Israel since 1979.”
For over 40 years, Iran has been regularly attacking Israel via its proxies Hezbollah and Hamas. Now the mask is off. Iran has accomplished a historical first, in a direct attack, seeking to fulfill all its slogans and promises for destruction over the recent decades.
