How To Reset WhatsApp In Windows 10 And 11

Step 1: First things first, launch the Settings app on Windows 11.

Step 2: On the left side of the screen, click the Apps button. Next, navigate to the right side of the screen and select Apps & features.

Step 3: In this screen, under the heading “installed apps,” check for the entry for “WhatsApp.” Take note that you may also quickly locate the WhatsApp entry by using the search bar that is located on the same page.

Step 4: At this point, you’ll need to select the “Advanced settings” option by first clicking the hamburger menu icon (it looks like three stacked dots) that’s located next to the WhatsApp item.

NOTE: If you do not see “Advanced choices,” it is likely because you have not downloaded WhatsApp Desktop from the Windows 11/10 Store. This may be remedied by following the instructions above. The reset function is not available in the desktop version of WhatsApp that can be downloaded from the official WhatsApp website.

Step 5: To finish, navigate to the area labelled “Reset,” and then click the “Reset” option. This will reset WhatsApp. When prompted for confirmation, select Yes and then click the Reset option. After the reset process has been successfully completed, a check mark will display next to the Reset button.

Please take into consideration that the data will be removed. If resetting the app does not fix the problem, you can also try the repair that is offered on the same screen if you want to. You may now launch WhatsApp and sign in to determine if the problem has been resolved.
