Logging out of WhatsApp without losing chats? New feature in the works, suggests report

WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that would give users greater control over how they manage their accounts, particularly when they wish to take a break from the messaging platform. According to a recent teardown of the latest beta version of the app for Android, users may soon be able to log out of WhatsApp on their primary device, a long-awaited feature for many.

The beta version 2.25.17.37 for Android, uncovered by Android Authority in collaboration with AssembleDebug, reveals that WhatsApp is testing a logout function nestled under the Settings > Account menu. While the feature is still under development, it offers a preview of what users can expect once it’s officially rolled out.
