But before installing WhatsApp, it is necessary to remove the old account that has already been installed on your current phone (even if you do not care about restoring this account later). To do this, open WhatsApp and go to Settings -> Account.

Note: if you have installed WhatsApp on the second device, but you have not yet created a backup of your account, then before you begin installing the app on the first device, drop by Settings -> Account and click "Back up." This will save you from losing all your data in case of any failures.
