Transfer WhatsApp account between Androids

    Hi guys

    I got a new Samsung (hurray!) and I have successfully migrated over most of my apps with Smart Switch. I got WhatsApp as an app, but without any account.

    Now, my old account is linked with an old phone number which I temporarily don't have access to anymore, (SIM is sitting in storage in another country, but will get it again in about a month). I know I can switch numbers and restore chats from a backup, but I don't want to lose that number if possible.

    So, TLDR, can I transfer my WhatsApp account, including original number, to a new phone without having to verify the number again?

    You will have to verify it in order to use WhatsApp.
