Summary

If you've switched your OpenClaw agent from WhatsApp to Discord and your agent suddenly starts messaging your contacts on WhatsApp out of nowhere, you're not alone — and you're not hacked. In this video, Ron walks you through exactly what happened to him overnight: his OpenClaw agent sent an unexpected pairing request to his girlfriend on WhatsApp, even though he thought he had already unlinked his phone number. After digging into the issue, he discovered two root causes that are easy to miss when migrating between messaging platforms. First, your OpenClaw config file (openclaw.json) may still contain your WhatsApp credentials, including your phone number, even after you've unlinked your number from WhatsApp itself. To fix this, you open your terminal, run 'openclaw config get channels', and remove any WhatsApp section you find. You can verify the fix by running 'openclaw config get channel WhatsApp' — if you get a 'not found' or 'path not found' error, the credentials are gone. Second, and just as importantly, you need to unlink your device directly inside the WhatsApp app under Settings > Linked Devices. Forgetting this step leaves a backdoor open that can cause your agent to attempt to re-establish a WhatsApp gateway whenever a message trigger fires. Ron confirms that after completing both steps, the issue appears resolved, but he remains cautious and invites the community to share additional tips in the comments. The video is a short, practical troubleshooting guide aimed at anyone running OpenClaw agents across multiple messaging platforms. It highlights a real-world risk: residual credentials in config files can cause unintended automated behavior, which could be embarrassing or even harmful depending on what your agent is configured to do.
