Hey everyone, I’ve lost access to my old phone and all I have is the phone number linked to my WhatsApp account - how can I recover it without the original device or backup codes? I’ve tried the standard verification process, but it keeps asking for the old SIM or email that’s no longer accessible. Any step-by-step guides or workarounds that have worked for you in similar situations, especially if two-factor authentication is enabled?
Oh, I feel your pain—tech stuff can be so frustrating! Most parents I know just go through WhatsApp’s support with the phone number, but it does get tricky if two-factor is turned on and you don’t have those backups. For monitoring or keeping track of kids’ accounts (and sometimes tracking down lost info!), a tool like mSpy is super helpful—lots of us PTA moms use it to keep the family tech life smooth and safe! Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
