IF you've had enough of WhatsApp it might be time to delete the app and wave goodbye - for now.
With scams happening all the time, it's no wonder some people feel a bit concerned.
Meanwhile, some simply find the instant nature of messaging quite overwhelming.
What ever the reason, backing up data just in case is always a good shout - and here we explain how.
How to download your WhatsApp messages, photos and videos
Unfortunately, WhatsApp doesn't have a feature that allows you to download all of your messages in one nice big chunk.

There is the 'Download Your WhatsApp Data' option, but this doesn't include your messages. But there is another way.
You can download all of your messages from a single chat, and then repeat that process over for each person.
To do this, go to the chat you want to download then tap their name at the top.
Next, scroll down and tap Export Chat – and choose to export with or without media (your photos and videos).
You'll then have to wait for the chat to be compressed into a downloadable file, which you can then save or email to yourself.
Remember that this file won't update itself, so you'll only see messages that you received before you hit export.
How to delete your WhatsApp account
Facebook has built a simple way to delete your WhatsApp account right into the app.
First, open the app, and then tap on Settings, then Account.
At the bottom of the page, you'll see an option for Delete My Account.
Enter your phone number again and tap the Delete My Account button to confirm you're happy to proceed.
It's important to note that you won't be able to regain access to your account once you've deleted it – so be sure you're making the right decision first.
It can take up to 90 days for Facebook to delete all of your data stored in its backup systems.
However, the data won't be accessible on WhatsApp during this time.
Deletion also won't affect any information others have relating to you, including their copy of the messages you've sent.
