So you can change your number without losing your WhatsApp conversations
- First, we recommend that you create a backup on WhatsApp.
- Now, open the application and click on the icon of the three points that are located in the upper right corner (in Android), or the gear in the lower right (in iOS).
- Tap on “Settings” or “Settings” and access the section that says “Account”.
- The next step is to press the option “change number”. The app will inform you that you are migrating your conversations, groups, settings, and account information.
- make sure you can receive SMS messages or calls on the new number. Click “Next” > place both numbers in their respective fields.
- Click on “Next” > turn on the switch “Notify my contacts” (you will send a message to everyone about your new number). Remember that only groups will be notified about your new number.
- Click on “Ok” and you will see the notice “Your phone number was successfully changed from +51 999 999 999 to +51 999 888 888″.
Done, that would be it. It is important to clarify that if you did not decide to notify your WhatsApp contacts, when they enter your old conversation the following notice will appear: “+51 (your old number) changed their phone number. Press to send a message or add the new number”, however, if you were previously added, this information will be omitted.
