Maybe I misunderstood the comment you and parent comment were making. I interpreted it as "they can recover it via SIM, so the lockout method isn't needed".
My point to that is that it is true, but the lockout would prevent a thief from using it until the new SIM is received. Versus a thief having access until the new SIM is received.
I use telegram instead of Whatsapp, but I would hate for anyone to have any time at all on my account. I'd prefer to immediately lock the whole thing down and figure it out once I have everything sorted.
