From WhatsApp Business / Personal App

It's important to understand that direct migration of a phone number from the WhatsApp Business App or Personal WhatsApp App to the WhatsApp API is not supported. However, you can still use your existing number with the WhatsApp API by following a two-step process: deleting it from the WhatsApp app and then registering it new with the WhatsApp API.

Key Considerations:

• Data Loss: When you delete your number from the WhatsApp app, you will lose all saved data on your mobile device. This includes chat histories, uploaded images, and videos.

• Groups: You will be automatically removed from any WhatsApp groups you were a part of. If you wish to rejoin these groups, you'll need to be added again by a group member.
