How to retrieve your WhatsApp account if your phone is lost or stolen

Home How To How to retrieve your WhatsApp account if your phone is lost or stolen

WhatsApp has mentioned a few steps that you can follow if your smartphone is lost or stolen to stop other people from being able to access your WhatsApp account.

You might be using WhatsApp on the laptop or your PC via the browser or the desktop app, but the messaging platform only works when the primary device, in this case, your smartphone, is connected to the internet and is turned on. So, if you lose your phone or it gets stolen, you will not be able to use the messaging app anywhere else.

WhatsApp has mentioned a few steps that you can follow if your smartphone is lost or stolen to stop other people from being able to access your WhatsApp account. Keep in mind that remote deactivation of the WhatsApp account is not possible so you need to make sure you follow these steps.

What you must to recover/deactivate your WhatsApp if your smartphone is stolen or lost

1. First things first, lock your SIM card. For this, you need to call your network provider and get them to lock it. What this does is makes it impossible to verify the connected WhatsApp account on that phone again since you will no longer be able to receive SMSs or calls for verification.

2. Once the SIM is locked, you have two options. You can either use a new SIM card with the same number to activate your WhatsApp on a new phone. This is the easiest and fastest way to deactivate your account on the stolen/lost device since WhatsApp can only be activated with one phone number one device at a time.

3. The second option is to deactivate your WhatsApp account without the SIM card. For that you need to email WhatsApp with the phrase “Lost/Stolen: Please deactivate my account" in the body of the email and you need to include your phone number in full international format - which is to use +91 as a prefix for Indian numbers.

4. Once you have deactivated your account, all your WhatsApp contacts can still see your profile and send you messages and this will remain “pending” for up to 30 days. If you manage to reactivate your account within 30 days, you will receive all the messages and will still be a part of all the WhatsApp groups. If you cannot activate your account within 30 days, it will be deleted in its entirety.

If your SIM card is locked, you can still use WhatsApp with your WiFi connection if you have not contacted WhatsApp to deactivate your account. We suggest you do this only if you have managed to recover your device and only after you have deactivated your SIM. This method of using WhatsApp on WiFi is only a temporary solution, you can use it this way as a stop-gap till you don't get a new device or reactivate your SIM.

Also, if you have backed up your WhatsApp data on Google Drive, iCloud, or OneDrive before you lost your device or it got stolen, you will be able to recover all your chat history and all media.

Downloading Office Tab Center again. Doesn't work on Windows 7, Word 16, 64-bit. What to do? nineHow to delete data on a lost or stolen phone But the situation becomes much worse if it contains any personal data. Their cost is difficult to estimate, but they are definitely more valuable than the device itself, whatever it may be. Once in the hands of another person, they can be used for a variety of purposes, and it will be much more unpleasant. nine0003

What can be valuable on a smartphone of an ordinary user? Many people think that nothing, and they are very mistaken. Firstly, there is a Google account, and many other services are also tied to it, for example, mail. Having gained access to the mailbox, an attacker can penetrate all the services where you are registered, simply by changing passwords there. Or at least just dig into your correspondence.

On any smartphone that is actively used, contacts are accumulated - phones, mail of other people, various applications are installed. What can happen if an attacker gets access to your messengers Viber, WhatsApp and others? And if to the banking application? nine0003

The phone also has pictures of yourself and other people. Some are even intimate. What if they are sent in messengers or published on the Internet?

Finally, many people use their smartphone to record a variety of things - from business reminders to important ones - addresses, card numbers and PINs, and much more. After all, a modern smartphone is a convenient mini-computer that is always in your pocket.

As you can see, the loss of any smartphone can have big consequences. Against this background, the value of the device itself is really unimportant - you can buy another phone. Losing control over personal information is much worse. nine0003

Therefore, you need to be able to delete all valuable data from the phone if there is a danger that they fell into the wrong hands and it will not work to return everything intact. Fortunately, the Android system allows you to do this, and you can even use it in several ways.

Make sure that you can delete your data while your phone is still with you

In order to erase all information from your smartphone in case of emergency, you need to take care of this and set it up in advance. The first thing to do is to set up a working Google account on your phone, which you can also log into from a computer. Also, be sure to enable geolocation in the settings - this will allow you to determine the location of a lost or stolen gadget. nine0003

If you did all this and then lost your device, use the Android Device Manager to make your phone ring. This service is available at the link (https://www.google.com/android/find) - sign in with the same Google account that is set up on your smartphone. If it is connected to the Internet, then you can click the "Call" button on the site and the phone will ring at maximum volume, even if the sound is completely turned off. Also, the service will show its location on the map - that's why you need to enable geolocation. nine0003

Another way to keep yourself safe is to install the Find My Device application. It is installed in the standard way from the Play Market. After that, you need to go to your Google account settings and activate this application. You also need to allow him access to the location.

Both of the previous methods will work if the smartphone fell into the wrong hands and access to the Internet was turned on on it, or if it was turned on initially. But if the phone falls into the hands of an "advanced" attacker, he can immediately turn off the Internet, put the phone into "airplane" mode, or delete the Google account. Then you will not be able to use these methods. nine0003

But there is another solution - installing and configuring the Eradoo application. It does not need the Internet, this program itself can work with some signs of theft that you can configure. For example, it can format the device if there is an attempt to replace the SIM card, if an incorrect PIN code is entered, if you send an SMS with a certain text, and in other situations. This is a kind of “cop” on guard of your device, which, in which case, will immediately destroy everything.

What to do before deleting data

If you can't find your phone, don't immediately cut off your shoulders and delete all the information on it. Try to find it first - maybe you just forgot it in the car. Calls to a muted phone usually do not work, so use the Android Device Manager service - it turns on the call for 5 minutes even when the sound is muted.

If the search is unsuccessful and you suspect that the phone could fall into the wrong hands, the same service allows you to send a message to its screen. In it, you can write which number to call the finder and promise a reward. This message will appear even if the screen is locked and the finder can contact you. nine0003

If you could not find the phone yourself and no one contacts you about the find, you can proceed to radical measures - data destruction.

How to remotely wipe your phone

Instead of erasing all the information at once, you can change the lock screen - set a password and display a message on it. Sometimes it works if the gadget is found by an honest person.

You can delete all data using the Android Device Manager service or the Find My Device application if it was previously installed. You can give a signal with a simple press of a button - erase the data, and if the gadget is online, it will immediately return to the factory settings. In this case, all personal information will be destroyed. This is the easiest way to delete data from a lost phone. nine0003

IMPORTANT. Deleting it this way will also delete your Google account on your phone. Therefore, you will no longer be able to control your smartphone and track its location.

The data stored on the flash card will not be destroyed. Therefore, try not to store anything important there.

What should I do if the Android Device Manager service cannot connect to the device? This means that it is not connected to the Internet. Through the Find My Device application, you can still send a command to clear, and it will be executed immediately as soon as the phone gains access to the Internet. An attacker will not be able to prevent this. nine0003

What should I do if Find My Device does not return any results? This can happen if an attacker does not allow the smartphone to connect to the Internet for a second. Then you should rely on the Eradoo application if you have installed it and configured it in advance.
