Changing the number on WhatsApp has become very easy. Earlier, when the number was changed, everyone had to be informed about it, but now it is not so. Now if you change the old WhatsApp number to the new one, its notification automatically gets sent to all the contacts. Changing the number is easy but what will happen to those photos, videos, and messages that are attached to the previous WhatsApp number?
You will be surprised to know that there is a feature in WhatsApp with the help of which chats from the old number can be easily transferred to the new number, although very few people are aware of it. If you change your WhatsApp number and want to keep the old data safe, then this report is useful for you.
How to change your number on WhatsApp?
If you are not changing the phone then there is no problem, but if you are changing the mobile along with the number then definitely take a local backup of your data before changing the number on WhatsApp.
Open WhatsApp on the phone and go to Settings.
Now click on "Account" and click on the option of "Change Number".
Now read the information given on the screen carefully. In this, questions will be asked about migrating chat, settings, and data.
Now click on “Next” and enter the old and new numbers.
Now you have to choose whether the notification of number change should be sent to all your contacts or not.
For this, three options will be available All Contacts, Contacts I have chats with, and Custom option.
Choose any option as per your choice and then click on "Done".
