WhatsApp How do I compleatly uninstall from Macbook Pro 2020

I can find stuff in ~/Library/Group Containers/group.net.whatsapp.WhatsApp.shared but am afraid of deleting some other stuff being used by Apple.

Help!

Inside the Library folder, look for folders/files associated with WhatsApp. Some common paths:

~/Library/Application Support/WhatsApp/

~/Library/Group Containers/group.net.whatsapp.WhatsApp.shared

~/Library/Caches/WhatsApp

~/Library/Preferences/WhatsApp.plist


Note: Be careful only to delete items you’re sure belong to WhatsApp.


Empty the Trash again after removing those files.
