Deleting Whatsapp app

HiGlo

Not sure where is the best place to post this so feel free to move it.

I am considering temporarily deleting whatsapp. I don't want to delete my account, just "turn it off" for a while.

I'm wondering what happens if I delete the app off my iphone. When I decide to reinstall the app will all of the conversations be lost? I have it synced to my iCloud back up, however as my phone as **** memory it hasn't backed up in yonks. Does this mean that conversations won't be recovered?
Or maybe they can't be recovered at all, regardless and if you delete the app it deletes all the convos?

Does anyone know how this works?

As far as I know Ul need to back up the phone with iCloud first. The conversations won't b saved otherwise Then delete the app. If u delete the app rather than deactivate people can still send you messages and Ul get them once u reinstall but if u deactivate u won't get messages. I think that's right but don't quote me

Whatsapp automatically backs up all conversations. You should do this manually first before deleting the app. You won't receive messages until you reinstall the app. Any old conversations will appear again.
