Description from the creator

Learn how to change your phone number on WhatsApp. Changing your phone number will migrate your WhatsApp account and groups. Before starting, back up your account and confirm you’re able to receive SMS or phone calls on your new phone number.

The change number feature allows you to change the phone number associated with your WhatsApp account. Changing your phone number in WhatsApp will transfer your account information, including your profile photo, name, about, individual chats, group chats, and settings from your old phone number to your new phone number. It will also delete the WhatsApp account associated with your old phone number, so your contacts will no longer see your old phone number in their WhatsApp contacts lists.
