How do I change my phone number or email?

Changing your number

1. Open the Account tab, then Phone number › Change number.
2. Enter the new number. It must be from the same country as your account, with WhatsApp.
3. Tap Verify the new number on WhatsApp: a ready-made message opens. Send it from the new number.
4. The change is done as soon as the message arrives. Your points, loved ones and history stay with your account.

To change country, contact support: payment methods and currency depend on it.

Changing your email

Email is optional. Update it in Account › Personal information.

Why this check
