Users will be able to transfer their chat history, photos, videos and voice messages from their phone to their computer via the Move toiOS app. Prior to this expansion, users only had the option to transfer chats from one phone to another.
The ability to securely switch between phones and transfer your chat history, photos, videos, and voice messages between phones is going to be added to the service. This is one of the top requests. The ability switch was launched last year and is now available on both the iPhone and theAndroid.
The transfer process only works on newer phones. You also need to be using the latest versions of the two operating systems on your phone.
To get started, you have to open the Move toiOS app on your phone and follow the on-screen instructions. A code will be displayed on your phone once you follow the instructions. Enter the code on your phone. You need to tap "continue" and follow the on-screen instructions. On the transfer data screen, you need to selectWhatsApp. You can begin the process with a tap on your phone. You will have to wait for the data to be prepared for export by the messaging service. You will be signed out from your phone once the data is ready.

To return to the Move toiOS app, you have to tap "Next". If you want to transfer the data from your phone to your phone, you need to first tap "continue" and then "move" to make sure it's done. You need to log in with the same phone number you used on your old device if you want to use the newest version of the messaging service. You will be asked to start the process in order to finish it.
You can use this process to transfer your account information, profile picture, individual chats, groups chats, chat history, media and settings. You can't show your name or transfer your call history.
Transferring data doesn't go to cloud storage until you create a backup of your account. If you don't wipe your phone, your data will still be on your phone, even if you don't change your phone number.
It has been easy to transfer data from one phone to another, but it has been difficult to move from one phone to another. This problem will be solved with the new tool.
