This change number feature of WhatsApp simply allows us to change the phone number of WhatsApp and migrates all the information in our accounts, such as our profile information, settings, and groups, from our old phone number to the new one.
Even this feature deletes the account linked to the old number, so our contacts will no longer see our old number in their contact list. Therefore, it is advisable that we notify our contacts that we have changed their number so that they add us to their list. The only ones who will be notified about our change of number will be the members of the WhatsApp groups to which we belong.
