How to avoid merging your WhatsApp messages with Instagram: step by step

Have they sent you a message about your Instagram account that, now, will be integrated with WhatsApp? So you can avoid it.

WhatsApp, despite having lost its throne to Telegram, is one of the most used messaging apps in the world; however, little by little the application is modifying certain functions so that several can use, more easily, the app that now belongs to Facebook.

One of the most controversial points of these changes is the implementation of the new 2021 WhatsApp policies, which informs you that certain information will be shared with Facebook to improve its advertising system.

But it is not the only thing. Now the fast messaging application will integrate with Instagram automatically, but there is a way to prevent this from being done and you will have to take these steps into account.

Do you use WhatsApp with Instagram for your business? Do you want to prevent the two from merging? Know everything you have to do to prevent that from becoming effective.

How To Prevent Whatsapp From Integrating With Instagram

Have you seen a rather strange button on your Instagram profile that indicates that it has been integrated with WhatsApp? So you can avoid it from now on:

• Go to Instagram, especially your business account.
• There you must click on your profile photo.
• At that moment, in the header, you will see a button that says WhatsApp.

Do you want to prevent your WhatsApp from joining Instagram? Then follow the steps that we mentioned.

• Click on "Edit profile" and there you must deactivate the tool to share your WhatsApp.
• When you finish and deactivate everything, you just have to click OK.
• With this, you will have deleted the fusion of WhatsApp with Instagram.

At that point, the WhatsApp button displayed in the header of your Instagram profile will disappear completely.

Also, this automatic method can be avoided by not putting your cell phone number in the Instagram app. That way the app won't know that you have a WhatsApp account in your name. You just have to click on edit and delete it. Then click on "Accept".

Do you have any problems? Do you need to report it? If you have any kind of problem, then you should write to your contact email: smb_web@support.whatsapp.com or android_web@support.whatsapp.com. You can also make the same request from your iPhone.
