A lot of competition in the buying and selling app sector
Every day there are more apps to make purchases and sales, physical or digital, over the internet. We have applications like Miravia, Temu, Facebook marketplace and many more like TikTok Shopping. The list is endless. And with all this offer of buying and selling apps, The demand for apps of this type has not grown at the same time. Right now we have more buying and selling apps than we can, and want, to use.
Therefore, it may have arrived It's time to check the drawer of apps of this type on our mobile and start deleting the ones we don't use.. Now, if you want to do it right, it's not just enough to delete the app from your mobile. But what we want is to delete the account so that they do not continue sending us advertising or discount codes.

What happens when you delete your Wallapop account
Before explaining what to do to delete your Wallapop account, you have to take into account what happens after deleting it. The first thing you should know is that all ongoing transactions will be blocked and you may have problems whether you are receiving or sending packages. Check, before deleting the account, if you have pending orders or shipments.
On the other hand, it is essential that you know this: balance or money you have in your wallet will disappear permanently and you will not be able to recover it. This is essential, if we have some money in the app's wallet we will need to spend it so as not to lose it forever. Obviously if we only have a few cents or a couple of euros left, we are not interested in making any extra orders. But in case you have enough money to place an order, look for something that interests you and buy it before losing the money in your wallet.
And last but not least, you should know that If you enjoy any Pro subscription of the service, it will disappear with its advantages. So, unless you don't enjoy this "premium" service, check how much time you have left on your monthly payment.
