WhatsApp has been making it easier for us to take our chats from one mobile to another for some time. The transfer from Android to iPhone and from iPhone to Android came relatively recently, with several requirements, and now the app prepares a direct transfer of chats between android mobiles.
Today it is already possible to transfer chats from one Android mobile to another, although it is essential that you use Google Drive backup as an intermediary, which may not be very practical if you don’t want to use this backup method or have a huge history, which will have to be uploaded and then downloaded.
Transfer chats from Android to Android
When you change your mobile, you probably want to keep your data, including your WhatsApp chats. On Android, the standard way to transfer WhatsApp chats to a new mobile is to use backup to Google Drive. On the new mobile, the most current backup, associated with the Google account, will be downloaded.
whatsapp is preparing a direct way and without depending on Googlewhich will receive the name transfer chats and, according to WaBetaInfo, it is already active for a few users in its beta. It will be a way for your current mobile and the new one to connect to transfer the chats between each other, without using Google Drive as an intermediary.
To use this function we must enter the section chat of the settings and enter Transfer chats. To connect the two mobiles together, we must register on the new mobile using the same phone number. After doing so, we will see a QR code on the new phone, which we will have to scan with the current mobile.
In this way, we will be able to take our WhatsApp chats from one Android mobile to another without depending on Google, which is especially interesting for qWho do not want or do not have Google Services on their mobiles and therefore they cannot use Google Drive, as happens for example with the latest Huawei mobiles.
