WhatsApp messenger developers announced a new and faster way to transfer chat history from an old phone to a new phone using a QR code. It has been reported TechCrunch.
“Users switching to another phone with the same operating system will be able to transfer their WhatsApp data using a local Wi-Fi connection,” said one of the experts.
The method does not require backing up with data on a smartphone or cloud storage. To transfer chat history, make sure both devices are active and connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Next, you need to go to the messenger settings, select the “Chats” section, the item “Forward chats”. You will need to scan the QR code using the camera of the new smartphone to complete the process.
WhatsApp is confident that the new method is more secure than third-party solutions because the data is encrypted on the devices themselves and the exchange only takes place between them on the local network.
In the past, Messenger offered to use cloud storage to transfer data between smartphones with the same mobile operating system.
