This new WhatsApp feature is here for the first time on the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 WhatsApp has finally officially revealed the presence of a cross-platform chat history transfer feature from iOS to Android or vice versa. Through this feature, WhatsApp users can transfer chat history from voice messages, photos, and conversations to an old smartphone to a new smartphone with a different OS. Interestingly, this new WhatsApp feature will premiere on Samsung's new smartphones, namely the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3. WhatsApp's cross-platform chat history transfer feature will gradually roll out on other Samsung devices, before finally coming to all Android and iOS devices in the coming months. Based on the presentation video at the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2021 event, it seems that being able to transfer chat history from an iOS device to an Android requires a USB-C to Lightning data cable rather than relying on an internet connection. Also, if you've transferred between iOS and Android in the past and have two separate cloud backups, the new transfer feature won't combine them into one chat history. Reported by The Verge, Thursday (12/8/2021), WhatsApp explains, if you use it to migrate chat history and then back it up, the new chat history will overwrite the existing backup. "To move chat history to other platforms, additional mechanisms for WhatsApp, operating systems and device manufacturers are needed to ensure the transfer of chat history is safe and secure," WhatsApp said. This is different from the competitor's WhatsApp chat application which uses cloud-based messaging, because all private WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted, so they are stored on the user's device. Meanwhile, message history belonging to competing applications is placed in the cloud. For this reason, agen judi togel online terpercaya WhatsApp together with OS developers and mobile device manufacturers in the world are trying to make importing or transferring chat history from one device to another easier. Coming First on Android "We are happy because for the first time we can help users move their WhatsApp chat history safely from one operating system to another," said Paruchuri. Later, this feature will be present on Android first. Thus, users can move their WhatsApp chat history to Android devices. "Furthermore, this feature will be available on other operating systems periodically in the coming months," said Paruchuri.
