Because this whatsapp application uses a cellular number as an account indicator, the contacts that are still stored in the old sim number are copied to the phone memory so that the wa account information remains the same and complete.

Conclusion
Before I found out about this feature, I used to often delete the wa application data to change the wa no.
Why am I deleting WhatsApp app data? Deleting the wa application data will reset the application and look like new again, so we can enter a new number on the wa application at the risk of lost chat history.
After I know now with this feature, I can now easily change no wa without having to lose chat history.
That’s a simple tutorial from me, hopefully it can be useful for all of you, friends. Thank you
