How to give your WhatsApp to another person without a phone number - in detail?

Giving your WhatsApp account to another person without changing the phone number involves several steps. It is crucial to follow these steps carefully to ensure a smooth transition.

First, you need to back up your chat history. This step is essential to preserve all your conversations and media files. To do this:

  1. Open WhatsApp on your device.
  2. Go to the "Settings" menu.
  3. Select "Chats."
  4. Tap on "Chat Backup."
  5. Choose the Google Drive account where you want to back up your chats and media. If you don't have a Google Drive account, you will need to create one.
  6. Tap on "Back Up" to start the backup process.

Once the backup is complete, you can proceed with deleting your WhatsApp account. This step is necessary because WhatsApp accounts are tied to phone numbers, and you cannot simply transfer an account without deletion. Here's how to delete your WhatsApp account:

  1. Open WhatsApp on your device.
  2. Go to the "Settings" menu.
  3. Select "Account."
  4. Tap on "Delete My Account."
  5. Enter your phone number in the international format (e.g., +1 234-567-8901).
  6. Choose a reason for deleting your account from the dropdown menu.
  7. Tap on "DELETE MY ACCOUNT."

After deleting your WhatsApp account, you need to inform the person who will be taking over your WhatsApp account that they should install WhatsApp on their device using your old phone number. Here are the steps for them to follow:

  1. Uninstall WhatsApp from their current device if it is already installed.
  2. Insert the SIM card with your old phone number into their device or use a virtual number service that supports WhatsApp.
  3. Install WhatsApp on their device from the official app store.
  4. Open WhatsApp and follow the setup process.
  5. When prompted to verify the phone number, enter your old phone number.
  6. Wait for the verification code via SMS or call. If using a virtual number service, follow their instructions to receive the code.
  7. Enter the verification code in WhatsApp.
  8. Once verified, WhatsApp will ask if you want to restore your chat history from a backup. They should tap on "Restore" to retrieve your backed-up chats and media.

By following these steps, you can successfully transfer your WhatsApp account to another person without changing the phone number. It is important to note that after deleting your account, you will lose access to all your chat history and media. Therefore, ensure that you have backed up all necessary data before proceeding with the deletion process.
