How does this work?
First, just quickly understand how WhatsApp works, you have to register yourself on WhatsApp which is a mandatory process except for privacy lovers. Unfortunately, you need an alternate number that’s unknown to others or a new SIM.
WhatsApp has a feature to inform every contact that you have changed your number. The simple trick is that you can hide your phone number from your contacts.
The following steps will help you to use WhatsApp without displaying your phone number.
- Get yourself a new phone number (new SIM card) which you don’t want to share with all.
- Just remove or uninstall the WhatsApp application from your device.
- Reboot your handset.
- Take out your existing SIM card and insert it on another phone so that you can receive a verification message later.
- Now, insert your new SIM card in the device.
- Install the WhatsApp application again and register your mobile number with the older one again. (Don’t put the new number)
- During the number registration process, as you’ve put the old mobile number, the verification code (OTP) will arrive on the old SIM card.
- Just enter the received OTP code and you’re done.
- In this way, your new contact number will remain hidden from all of your contact lists. But make sure to be anonymous for a good cause and only for your privacy.
