Does anybody have any idea of how WhatsApp (or even Signal) deals with recycled cell phone numbers (In many countries, it is common for telecom companies to reuse and reissue a phone number to another new subscriber once someone surrenders it)? How does WhatsApp or Signal deal with phone numbers it has banned but has been re-issued to someone else who wants to use WhatsApp or Signal?
