I wish to change my Whatsapp number without letting my contacts or current chat users to know my new numbers so when they continue to message me, they didn't know I have changed number and they can't contact me or they will be notified that this number (existing) one is no longer on whatsapp.

Anyone tried this method and if it works?

cant chat means cant contact anymore.

What is the point if whatsapp implements block feature? of course certain is annoying and dont want to chat la..

some ppl value their privacy bro.

you may contact someone via fb messenger, doesnt mean you can call them on their hp number right?

Can always use the autoreply on whatsapp business features.

but sometimes some ppl dem stubborn one.

might be blessing in disguise. since fami wanna force us to use digitalid and they want the social media to do the ekyc as well, telegram is the way to go

Honestly I don't think it's really about protecting minors,that’s just the excuse they’re using.remember when Edisi Siasat Telegram got shut down a few months back?

It's more about control and surveillance than anything else.

and how is the government even going to enforce this properly when they don’t own any of these foreign platforms?these companies are half hearted at best.I’ve reported questionable vape juice sellers on FB Marketplace so many times, nothing ever happens.

Gotta see how Australia handle it in few months time

Tech giants Google, YouTube and Microsoft have warned the Australian government that proposed legislation to ban under-16s from social media may not work effectively. The companies told a Senate estimates hearing that the ban would be extremely difficult to enforce and would not fulfil its promise of making children safer online. Officials from Meta, Snapchat and TikTok did not appear at the inquiry.

I thought WhatsApp is tied to fon number. How TS gonna do what he described?

WhatsApp mobile & WhatsApp PC are both tied to fon number. If change number means becoming new account dy. There's no other ways
