Your cellphone number has been registered on WhatsApp? Why do you not have to worry

WhatsApp has more than 2 billion users worldwide.
Despite criticism and security issues, the Messaging platform that Meta has continues to be the preferred choice among users.
This is also one of the fastest evolving cellular applications that carry new features from time to time.
Now, all WhatsApp accounts are related to cellphone numbers.
But, there may be cases when users see the cellphone number already registered in the application.
Even though this might be heard about, there is no need for users to worry, whatsapp said.
Why does WhatsApp show your cellphone number registered? It’s common for cellular service providers to recycle mobile numbers.
It is possible that the previous owner of your current telephone number uses WhatsApp and does not delete the WhatsApp account.
In this case, whatsApp will display your mobile number on WhatsApp before you activate a new account.
You can also see other people’s profile photos and about parts installed on your telephone number.
Why don’t you need to worry? If you see your cellphone number already registered on WhatsApp, no need to worry.
According to the WhatsApp FAQ page, this only means that the previous account was not deleted and therefore the old information was still in the system.
This does not mean that the owner of the previous telephone number has access to whatsapp accounts that you activate with your new telephone number.
Your conversation and other Whatsapp data is safe, the page states.
WhatsApp Monitor Account is inactive to help eliminate confusion with recycled cellphone numbers.
In the event that the account is not used for 45 days and reactivated on a different smartphone, whatsApp considers it a sign that the number has been recycled.
After this, WhatsApp removes old data such as profile photos and about the part that is tied to an account that is linked to the cellphone number.
