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 methey 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?

I googled this and found this answer. I have quit all groups. Just don't want individual chat users to contact/message me on my new number.

i really like the telegram feature which doesn't need to backup and you can subscribe to premium version and if the person is not on your contact listthey can't even message or contact you.

So cool...

My current whatsapp has over 20GB media to be backup up rclxub.gif

so it has taken up my google drive space for 20gb liao.

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 timesnothing ever happens.

Gotta see how Australia handle it in few months time

Tech giants GoogleYouTube 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 MetaSnapchat and TikTok did not appear at the inquiry.
