Deleting the WhatsApp account on your Android or iPhone will cause any incoming messages to be queued by the WhatsApp servers and then subsequently delivered upon successful registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I import my backup using the WhatsApp for Business API? <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There is currently no option to import previous conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there an extra fee for the number migration?<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The number migration is a time-consuming process. Please check with your customer success manager to see if there is an extra fee for the migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will the migration affect Official Business Approval?<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Official Business Approval is only available for selected WhatsApp for Business API clients. It’s not affected by the migration, but once the number has been upgraded to the WhatsApp for Business API it’s possible to request the OBA-status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
