WhatsApp number deactivation

What is WhatsApp number deactivation and its reasons?

After activating the number by scanning a QR code, our service gets access to the correspondence history. Loss of access to correspondence by our service is called deactivation.

Reasons why deactivation may occur:

• Access to our service was closed in the WhatsAppmobile app (Settings - Account - Computers and tablets - Deactivate).
• Access has been suspended by WhatsApp itself and requires re-scanning the code. In the desktop version of WhatsApp, you may have also encountered this when the “Set up a secure WhatsAppconnection” window appears.

The reasons for this window can be different, and in some cases, it may appear regardless of the user's actions. However, the most common reasons are:

• Uninstalling the WhatsApp mobile app on your phone;
• Changing the number in the WhatsApp mobile app;
• Activation was done from a device that had previously blocked other WhatsApp numbers;
• Activation was done from a suspicious device, e.g. Android emulator or suspicious IP addresses;

Internet or mobile device disconnection does not affect deactivation of the number.
