Messenger WhatsApp makes it possible.
California (USA) - WhatsApp news service has announced a new feature.
In the future, the transfer of complete chats between Android and iOS should be simplified.
Initially, however, it should only be possible to transfer data from iOS devices to new Galaxy smartphones.
Later, the new WhatsApp function should also be possible for other Android smartphones and also from Android to iOS.
WhatsApp will have a new function in the future: Messenger makes it possible to transfer chats when changing operating systems
Background: Chats on WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted.
That is why they are saved directly on the respective end device.
For device manufacturers and developers as well as WhatsApp, the cross-platform transfer of chat histories, pictures, videos and voice messages represents an additional effort.
After all, the backups are not yet compatible.
In general, according to WhatsApp, this function has been requested many times.
Apart from that, the rumor is circulating that WhatsApp could only come along with advertising thanks to Facebook.
