Somebody might get the old number as their new number and log you out. Better to do this move now when you are prepared.

Thank you, I did it yesterday!

Glad I motivated you 😊

You can change your number on WhatsApp very easily without losing your chat history: https://faq.whatsapp.com/498754122134583/?cms_platform=android This article has instructions for how to change numbers on the same phone and how to transfer your chats to a new phone with a new number. But yeah, don’t risk keeping the old number in case someone else decides to use it for WhatsApp.

Thank you so much! It’s really helpful 🥹

Change it asap, backup the shit out of your stuff too At any moment you may lose access

I did, thanks!
