[WhatsApp] some questions concerning a change of the mobile number #1166

Some questions: I'll be soon moving to another country for some time and therefore I will have a new number. Does loqui support malawian Numbers (Country Code: 0026)? Is it possible to keep my chathistory while changing the number under which my loqui-account is registered? And would it be possible, that messages which are send to my old number are still received by me/ are redirected to my new number?

Anytime you change your device, the chat history won't be transmitted. Also there's no import option of chat backups in LoquiIM. So you will begin by zero. When you're using an official WhatsApp Client, I think you should try to change your phone number of your existing account (?) to keep the groups. Serveral Contacts don't work yet...

No I dont't want to change my device, only my simcard. Anyway there is an option to im- and export settings and chathistory in loqui, over the webIDE with "App.importData()", but that was not my question...

Ok, being here, i realized, that with loqui I can set up two whatsapp accounts. So my question, whether it is possible or not to change numer with loqui is more or less irrelevant. The only problem is, that it is not possible, to activate both whatsapp accounts at the same time. Loqui gets irritated if you do so. Could you fix that?
