WhatsApp will return your saved data, know the method

There is good news related to WhatsApp for iPhone users. Now iPhone users’ WhatsApp has been updated with ‘Request Account Info’ feature. This feature came to Android devices as a beta version last month. In this, the user gets the facility to download the data collected by WhatsApp. However, the facility to save personal messages is not available in it. This service is part of the European General Data Protection Regulation, which is going to come into effect from May 25. WhatsApp’s parent company Facebook had also released a similar feature, through which users can download their data.

The ‘Request Account Info’ feature shows the user which of his/her information has been saved by WhatsApp so far. This includes everything from profile picture to group name. However, the company has clarified that it will not be possible to save daily conversations. If you want to use this service, you will have to download iPhone version 2.18.60 from the App Store. After downloading, the user has to select Settings – Account – Request Account Info option. Then you will see an info screen, from where you will be given the option to request report.

The thing to keep in mind here is that the WhatsApp team will hear you within 3 days. Once generated, it will be made available for download. Once the data report is ready, the user will be informed through notification.

Along with the new data-based feature, WhatsApp has made some other changes for iPhone users. According to Wabetainfo, users will also get new changes in the group. Also, if a user changes the phone number, WhatsApp will start showing a short description. Apart from this, some bugs have been fixed in the latest update and emphasis has also been laid on improving performance.
