Moving whatsapp from old phone to new, using same phone #

[Subu]

Hi

I've moved from an OLD iPhone 5 to a (new) iPhone 6 (used the same phone number thru). I've backed up my whatsapp on icloud from my *new* phone.

* Is it safe to delete the whatsapp app (meaning app and data) from the old iPhone ?
* I want to set up whatsapp on the old phone with a different # .
* tips / tricks / precautions ...all would be thankfully acknowledged

I have read some help and FAQs, but request some "real" experience / pitfalls to avoid

thanks in advance
best regards
subu

If you're using WA on the new phone and it's all there, then yeah, you can delete it from the old phone.

Just reinstall the app and go through setup again with the new number

tips - only have friends with iPhones and use iMessage
