It should be (and I think is) a configurable option when uninstalling
the app. If I'm going to pass the phone on to a new user, I'll want to
uninstall the app AND delete the data, for sure, even if the new user is
my kid.

Okay, so I've got my data in an encrypted database. What can I do with
it? It sure looks like nothing, without installing Whatsapp.
