As usual, WABetaInfo, the online portal that advertises jobs in beta releases, showed its working method to the public last Tuesday (02). Now, it is a function to transfer conversations between iPhone mobiles, which is in version 23.9.077.2 of WhatsApp Beta for iOS. Let’s see more details!
How will the feature work for iPhone users on WhatsApp?
When a user changes iPhone and wants to transfer their conversations to another device, it will not be superfluous to resort to downloading and iCloud backup. The purpose of this feature is for users to transfer their chats from one device to another on WhatsApp itself.
Already tested in its beta version, users just had to download WhatsApp on their new iPhone, register with the same phone number, use their old phone and scan the QR Code. As a result, all chat history will be transferred automatically.
The big advantage is transferring conversations without having to go through iCloud’s free 5GB storage limit or pay for more space. So, did you like the idea? Will you use this feature next time you switch phones?
When will it be available?
Currently, the feature can only be accessed by users who have the beta version of WhatsApp for iOS. The trend is for more testers to receive the feature in the coming days.
Speaking of end users, it is not known yet when it will be released for the people who are using the most popular version.
