Losing your device with your personal WhatsApp can become a risk to your privacy and, consequently, a big headache / Agencies.
A consolation, in the middle that you cannot recover your phone physically, is that you can cancel your conversations and then recover your account.
According to the WhatsApp Faq These are the steps you must follow, regardless of whether your mobile is Android or iOS:
1.- Lock the SIM card
The first thing you should do is call your mobile operator and ask for the SIM card to be blocked. After this, it will no longer be possible to verify the account of that phone again, since it is necessary to receive a text message (SMS) or a call to verify the activation of WhatsApp.
2.- After blocking your SIM you have the following two options:
- Use a new SIM card with the same phone number to activate WhatsApp on the new phone. It is important to note that this is the fastest way to deactivate WhatsApp on a lost or stolen phone. You can only activate a WhatsApp account with a phone number and only on one device at a time.
- Send an email to the address [email protected], including the phrase “Lost / Stolen Phone: Please deactivate my account” in your message. You must include your phone number in the full international format, that is, including the number, which for example in Mexico is 52.
The most recommended by experts about blocking WhatsApp
Although only one option can be followed, Infobae Mexico suggests that the email be sent to WhatsApp support first For added security and protection, because if only the SIM card is blocked, the application can continue to be used with a WiFi connection.
The previous bet is considering that recovering the same phone number on a new SIM can be time consuming depending on the user’s company, as well as how long it might take to get a new device.
