How to Find Your Own WhatsApp Number

To see your own WhatsApp number, open WhatsApp, go to Settings and tap your name: the number is shown under your profile. Here is the full path on each phone.

Find it

• Android: tap the three dots › Settings › tap your name. The number is listed on the profile screen.
• iPhone: tap Settings at the bottom › tap your name.

Why it may differ from your SIM

WhatsApp uses the number you registered with, which does not have to be the number of the SIM in the phone. If you registered with an old number or a second number, that is the one your contacts see.

Share your number another way

• Use the QR code next to your name to let someone add you.
• Share a wa.me link: wa.me/ followed by your number in international format without the plus sign.

Want to change it?

Use Settings › Account › Change number to move your account to a new number. See how to change your WhatsApp number.

Multiple numbers on one phone

On Android, WhatsApp can hold two accounts with different numbers, switched from the settings menu. WhatsApp Business is another app with its own number. If you are unsure which number a contact sees, check the profile in the app you used to message them.
