How to make WhatsApp on the phone for another number - in detail?

To set up WhatsApp on your phone using a different number, follow these detailed steps:

  1. Uninstall and Reinstall WhatsApp:

    • First, you need to uninstall the current version of WhatsApp from your device. This can be done through the Settings app or by long-pressing the WhatsApp icon and selecting "Uninstall."
    • After uninstallation, download and install the latest version of WhatsApp from the Google Play Store (for Android) or the App Store (for iOS).
  2. Verify Your New Number:

    • Once you've reinstalled WhatsApp, open the app and tap on "Agree and Continue" when prompted with the terms and conditions.
    • You will be asked to enter your phone number. Input the new number that you want to use for WhatsApp. Make sure this is a valid and active phone number.
  3. Wait for Verification Code:

    • After entering the new number, WhatsApp will attempt to verify it by sending a verification code via SMS. This process might take a few minutes depending on your network provider.
  4. Enter the Verification Code:

    • Once you receive the verification code, enter it into the designated field in the WhatsApp app.
    • If you did not receive the code, tap "Didn't get the code?" and choose to send the code again or use a different method like a phone call (if available).
  5. Set Up Your Profile:

    • After successfully verifying your new number, you will be prompted to set up your profile. This includes adding a profile picture and setting your name.
    • You can also choose whether to allow WhatsApp to access your contacts and other data.
  6. Restore Backup (Optional):

    • If you had previously backed up your WhatsApp data, you will be given the option to restore it. This step is optional but recommended if you want to retrieve your chat history, media, and settings.
    • Tap on "Restore" if prompted, and follow the instructions to complete the restoration process.
  7. Start Using WhatsApp:

    • Once the setup is complete, you can start using WhatsApp with your new number. All your conversations, contacts, and settings will be associated with this new phone number.

By following these steps, you can successfully configure WhatsApp on your phone using a different number. This process ensures that all your communications are tied to the new number, providing you with a fresh start or an alternative means of communication.
