How to change the mobile number in WhatsApp without losing anything

Do you change your mobile number? Well you should know that you can keep all your WhatsApp chats and groups, and also automatically notify all your contacts about the change of phone number. We explain how in this video and article.

Our WhatsApp account is associated with our mobile number, but if we change our number at any time we should not worry because we can keep all our WhatsApp conversations and groups, all its multimedia content, and also we will not have to worry about communicating to all our contacts about the change of number because WhatsApp will notify you automatically. How can you do that? Well, it is an option that the application itself offers us, and we explain step by step how it is done in great detail.

Change SIM

The first thing we have to do is change the SIM of our iPhone for the new one. Don't worry, nothing will happen with your WhatsApp even though you haven't made the number change yet. Take out the old SIM, insert the new SIM with the new phone number, and make sure that it is active, that you have coverage with your operator and that the SMS activation has been carried out without problems. Once this is done, you can proceed to the next step.

Change of number

Now we can enter WhatsApp and access the "Settings> Account" menu and from there enter the "Change number" option. WhatsApp is responsible for reminding us that we must have the new Sim ready to receive SMS, and in the next step we will have to enter the old number and the new number. Click on «Next» and now we will have the option to notify our contacts about the change of number. It is optional, if you do not want it you do not have to activate it, but if you activate it you can choose to notify all your contacts, only those you have in a chat or customize notifications. Who will always be notified will be the groups in which you are included.

Once that is done, the procedure is almost completed and we can only confirm that the number we have added is the correct one, something fundamental because We will receive an SMS with a code that will be essential to be able to complete the change of mobile number of our WhatsApp account. After that we will have our chats and groups with all their contacts and content, as they were before the number change, and also (if we have activated the option) our contacts will be notified of the new number we have.
