Note:
- Once you request a channels report, you can’t undo or cancel your pending request.
- If you change your phone number or delete your account, your pending request will be voided and you’ll have to request another report.
- Your channels report does not include your account information and settings. To access your account information and settings, you can request a copy of your account report. Learn how to request your account information in this article.
Download and export report
When the channels report is available to download, you'll receive a WhatsApp notification on your phone, stating “Your Channels report is now available”. The Request channel report screen in WhatsApp will tell you the amount of time you have to download the report before it’s deleted from our servers. Because this report contains your information, you should be careful about storing, sending, or uploading it to any other services.
- Go to WhatsApp Settings > click Request account info.
- Click Download report. A ZIP file will be downloaded to your computer, which includes HTML and JSON files.
- Once the file is downloaded, click Export Channels report > Export Channels report. You'll be unable to view the downloaded report within WhatsApp.
Note: Deleting the report won't delete any of your information relating to your activity and use of channels.
