WhatsApp is preparing to bring a new feature that will make it even easier to transfer chat history from one phone to another. According to reports, you will now be able to transfer chat history from Android to iPhone and iPhone to Android by scanning a QR code. Also, this new feature will help in transferring chats from old Android phones to new Android phones as well.
Will not work on older versions
WhatsApp currently allows you to transfer chat history between iOS and Android phones, but for this you have to go to a separate section and also need a wire to complete the process. Apart from this, this method does not work on older Android versions, due to which only people with newer operating systems can benefit.
According to the report, WhatsApp’s new feature is trying to make this thing even better. The upcoming feature will work to easily transfer chat history in all types of phones (whether Android or iOS).
