Smartphones have become an integral part of the life for most of us, but for many, it is a status symbol. With the evolution of technology, apps like Facebook and WhatsApp have brought people sitting thousands of miles apart closer than ever before. This has led to most of the social messaging platforms and apps to be mainly connected to our smartphone numbers. So, the chances of getting these platforms misused in case of loss of phone or SIM card are higher than ever.

Most of us have WhatsApp and Facebook installed on our phone and in case of loss or theft of the phone, one should swiftly take necessary action to avoid any misuse of your WhatsApp account.

Here's what you should do:

If your phone is lost, you should immediately get your SIM blocked by calling the telecom service provider. You can either do it by using someone else's phone or visiting the nearest outlet of the service provider. You should carry all the necessary identification documents.

Getting your SIM blocked doesn't mean that your WhatsApp has been blocked. WhatsApp can be operated even when the number is blocked.

The next step is to get a new SIM with the same number. For this, you will have to prove your identity by using IDs like Voter ID, Passport or Aadhaar.

Once you have the new SIM card, you need to activate your WhatsApp on another device. Since WhatsApp cannot be used simultaneously on two devices, it will log you off from the stolen device. Thereafter, you will be able to use your WhatsApp from the new device.
