WhatsApp Inc. appeared in iPhone storage, but it’s not an app

Good Day,


Currently I have 2 WhatsApp apps installed, but no active accounts. So each is using about 100 MB.

Didn’t use WA business yet, and WhatsApp got activated on another device with no data being transferred. But it never got backup either.



Additionally to that WhatsApp Inc. showed up in the storage, as if it’s a developer, uses 10 GB, shared by 2 apps.

It has no icon, no option of offloading or deleting since it’s not an app, doesn’t show any details about data or even when last used.




Didn't check the storage before getting 15.4 software update, so can’t say if it appeared after or was there before.


Kindly advice.

thanks

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 15
