The theft, loss, and breakage of smartphones are a work. A double trouble as we ran out of a great tool besides losing our data and contacts However technology also gives solution to that, or at least WhatsApp does. Thus, it is possible to resume conversations and not run out of messages in case of loss, breakage or theft of the phone.A point in favor of this application that we will discuss below.
Once we have run out of the terminal, as long as we keep the SIM card or the same phone number it is possible to resume WhatsApp conversations easilyTo do this, all you have to do is reinstall the application in the new terminal This step requires access to the respective app markets for each platform: iTunes, Google Play, Nokia Store or Windows Phone MarketplaceHere the application is searched for and download and install
When starting the application for the first time the verification screens appearand settingsThus, if we enter the telephone number that we already had associated with an account of WhatsApp, Most messages and conversations are recovered, allowing you to pick up pretty much where you left off. This is the good side of our data and messages being stored on WhatsApp servers
But, what happens when we want to transfer our account to a terminal that already contains the WhatsApp application with the data of another user? It is usual that, when we lose or are left without a smartphone, they leave us another until we get our own or better. This is not a reason to lose all our data and conversations from WhatsApp All you have to do is uninstall the application to delete the data of the previous user and reinstall WhatsApp as we have explained above.
