We can move back to old number again ?

[@Saucexvybz]

Thank you so much!!!! It worked perfectly

[@samisami7712]

Thanks bro helped alot

[@brainspasms2109]

First backup old whatsapp via whatsapp > settings > chats backup to google. Then put sim card from original whatsapp account in new phone then delete and reinstall whatsapp on new phone and it will load everything from google backup to new phone. Once finished you can now remove orig sim card and add the new sim card with new phone number and old numbers should still work as well as new number. Took me hours to solve. good luck!

[@harishs3878]

Hey bro does it method still work ??

[@ElliotHolden]

@@harishs3878 Yes it still works as is the best method, "if" you have a new phone. If you are keeping your existing phone you only just need to put the new SIM car in the existing phone.

[@nestorjrabalos1998]

What if your old phone number is no longer in use by you as you transferred to another country. But the phone where you’ve used the old phone number is still with you and occasionally you connect to wifi and was able to use watsapp still even without a simcard in it? Will it keep the old data when i finally insert a new simcard and press change number in settings?

Hi There, I tried to follow your steps to change my no, after putting verification code(receiving in new no), it asks for 2 step security pin. When I am putting pin (for old one) , it says wrong pin. Any clue where it’s going wrong?

Bro what about that old number Can we create a new account with the old number??

[@garima2862]

Yes maybe

[@mirceasuta792]

I think is not possible, if you do not have access to your old phone number ! I got myself a message from what's app, asking me for a verification code, which what's app tries to send it to my old phone number. So this was not possible, in my case !

[@TheMitchZone]

This didn't help me. I already knew these steps, but my chats did not send to my new phone. I have a new (temporary) phone with a new number that comes with it. I want my whatsapp account from my old phone & number to be transferred to my new phone/number. Idk how to make it work. 😤

If i change my whatsapp number and i DONT select option to notify my contacts then what happens? Can they still send me messages like before without notified i changed my number or what ?

[@mohitsabharwal2965]

Hi -any solution you got for this?

[@georgesaoun9751]

They will be sending messages to your old number without knowing u can’t see them

[@josephsylvan6511]

Does the otp go to both the old number and new number or only the new number?

[@Mhdalashhab]

New number only

[@lukezade4117]

when you change your number, can people still message you that has your old number ? or do you still have to message them

[@ashikantony7475]

I too have the same doubt.

[@Veroniica___]

I think what you can do is delete their number from your contacts then add your new number to WhatsApp. They shouldn’t be able to message you anymore if they aren’t in your contacts.

[@moneyglitch7564]

The first Indian that speaks English in his videos

[@basharatmobail3030]
