How do I migrate my email address or phone number to another account? (app)
What's self-migrating email address or phone number?
It's a new feature that allows you to migrate your email address or phone number from a different account to your current account. Your current account remains active while the other account will be closed.
This function is only applicable when:
You want to update your current phone number or email address, but the new phone number or email address is linked to another account.
You want to link a new phone number or email address, but it's linked to another account.
