WhatsApp on Desktop keeps logging out and require sign in each time it is closed. How do I prevent this.

Question

Hi everyone.

I am using Windows 10.

I have WhatsApp on my Desktop. Each time I close the app, it will require a sign in when open again. I did not experience this when I installed the App on a Windows 11 desktop.

I have checked through the settings of WhatsApp on Desktop but all to no avail.

Having to sign in each time I open the App on Desktop is frustrating and annoying.

Please any help?

Answer 2

Hi Hania,

Thank you for your response.

I am having the problem with WhatsApp application. That is, I installed the WhatsApp application on my laptop.

Each time I launch the App after exiting it, it will require a sign in just as I signed in after installation.

When I had it on Windows 11, I never experienced such.

I will greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Hi Hania,

I appreciate your response, but unfortunately, the problem is not solved after reinstalling WhatsApp. Moreover, the "Keep Me Signed in" box is not visible on the page where the barcode is scanned.

Each time I launch the App after exiting, it still requires a login by scanning the barcode.

Suggestions in the resources you shared are not working, too.

What else?

Udeme.

Same thing is happening to me. Until recently it kept me logged in, but now I have to log in each time I open WhatsApp, and, as you say, there is no 'keep me signed in ' option under the QR code.
