My Old WhatsApp Number Still Shows My Info—I Need It Closed Immediately for Security

April 20, 2025 11:10 PM61

I recently changed my phone number but forgot to deactivate my old WhatsApp account. As a result, my name, profile photo, and other personal information are still visible on that account. This is a serious privacy issue, because if that old number is reassigned to someone else—and they install WhatsApp—they will have access to my previous data.

I’m extremely worried that a stranger could see my private information, impersonate me, or misuse my identity. This should never be possible with a platform that claims to prioritize user security.

WhatsApp, please permanently close my old account linked to my previous number immediately. This is a time-sensitive request and a clear security risk. I expect urgent action to prevent any unauthorized access to my data.
