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

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.

My new WhatsApp number was suddenly flagged as spam, even though I’ve just started using it and haven’t done anything inappropriate. I was simply using it to share the number with contacts and make video calls, and out of nowhere, access was restricted. This is completely unfair and frustrating. I ...
