Here is a guide to change your number in WhatsApp without losing chats

Meta WhatsApp-owned messaging platform allows its users to change numbers without losing chats. Transferring chats to iOS or smartphones can be tricky, so changing phone numbers without losing chats is a simpler option, which is available in WhatsApp. This option is available on both iOS and Android.

If you are using the same phone with a new number, then with the “Change number” function, your old WhatsApp chats will be available on your new number. If you change your phone and use the “Change number” option, you will need to save your account initially.

How to backup WhatsApp account:

Step 1: Go to WhatsApp

Step 2: select More (3 vertical dots in the upper right corner)

Step 3: select settings

Step 4: Select Discussions

Step 5: Select Chat Backup

Step 6: Click Save, the backup will take some time.

Here is a guide on how to use the Change Number feature in WhatsApp:

Remember that the new number in which all chats should be changed must be used. You will receive an OTP in the new number; therefore, the SIM card must be activated.

Step 1: Open WhatsApp

Step 2: Click on 3 vertical dots in the upper right corner

Step 3: select settings

Step 4: select the account

Step 5: Click on Edit Number option

Step 6: Read the information provided and click Next

Step 7: Provide your old number and your new number with the country code

Step 8: Select Notify Contacts

Step 9: You can notify all contacts, the contacts you chat with or customize the contact list

Step 10: Tap Done

Step 11: Enter OTP (you may have received the new number)

Groups will automatically be notified of the change in number. After using the change number function, the account associated with the old number will be deleted.
