Insert the SIM card linked to your old phone number into your phone, then follow these steps.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"method1\">1. Recover WhatsApp Account Using an Old Phone Number<\/h3>\n<p>If you registered WhatsApp with an old phone number that you still have access to, recovering your account is straightforward.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Reinstall WhatsApp:<\/strong> First, make sure the old number\u2019s SIM card is in the SIM card try, then reinstall WhatsApp.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enter Your Old Phone Number:<\/strong> Open the app and enter your old phone number.

Then, confirm by selecting \u201c<strong>YES<\/strong>\u201c.<\/li>\n<figure class=\"screenshot-mobile-portrait\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/common-solutions-recover-whatsapp-account\/verify-phone-number.jpg\" alt=\"Enter Phone Number on WhatsApp\" width=\"1000\" height=\"770\"><\/figure>\n<li><strong>Verification Code:<\/strong> WhatsApp will send a six-digit code to this number.

Contact WhatsApp Support for Help<\/h3>\n<p>Can\u2019t recover your WhatsApp account on your own? Well, you can try contacting WhatsApp Support. Before reaching out, prepare any information related to your issue, like screenshots, the errors you encounter, etc., for verification.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Android Users:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open WhatsApp and tap the three dots for more options, then choose \u201c<strong>Support<\/strong>\u201c.<\/li>\n<figure class=\"screenshot-mobile-portrait\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/common-solutions-recover-whatsapp-account\/choose-support.jpg\" alt=\"WhatsApp Support Option\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1243\"><\/figure>\n<li>Describe your problem and attach any relevant screenshots.<\/li>\n<figure class=\"screenshot-mobile-portrait\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/common-solutions-recover-whatsapp-account\/elaborate-problem.jpg\" alt=\"Describing Problem in WhatsApp\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1013\"><\/figure>\n<li>After clicking \u201c<strong>Next<\/strong>\u201c, review the suggested solutions.

Attach your screenshots again before sending the email to WhatsApp Support.<\/li>\n<figure class=\"screenshot-mobile-portrait\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/common-solutions-recover-whatsapp-account\/doesnt-answer-my-question.jpg\" alt=\"WhatsApp Help Email Draft\" width=\"1000\" height=\"2085\"><\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>For iOS Users:<\/strong>\n  The steps for iOS users are pretty similar.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Tap \u201c<strong>Support<\/strong>\u201d if you face an error during phone number verification.<\/li>\n<li>Explain your issue on the next screen, adding screenshots if needed.<\/li>\n<li>After clicking \u201c<strong>Next<\/strong>\u201c, review the solutions offered.

Reattach your screenshots before sending the email to WhatsApp Support.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Remember to check your email regularly for a response from WhatsApp Support.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"method3\">3. Recover WhatsApp Account Without a Phone Number<\/h3>\n<p>Your WhatsApp account is usually tied to your phone number, making recovery without it challenging, or should I say, close to impossible. However, there\u2019s still some shred of silver lining.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If You Don\u2019t Have the SIM Card<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve lost your SIM card but still own the phone number, it\u2019s possible to recover your account. Visit your telecom provider, request a reissue of your SIM card for the registered number, and then follow the recovery process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If You Don\u2019t Have the Number Anymore<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you completely lost access to the number, either due to expiry or deregistration, contact your telecom provider\u2019s support. Ask if they can reissue or reactivate your previous number. Note that not all providers offer this service.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2 id=\"restore_whatsapp\">How to Restore Deleted WhatsApp Messages<\/h2>\n<p>To restore your WhatsApp messages and media, you must have previously enabled backup.
