ABOUT whatsapp aims to improve the way users migrate between devices without losing all their conversations. Currently, the main way to transfer chats from an account to a new device is Google Drive – which is quite slow and often doesn’t work properly. But the company should soon solve this problem by allowing the local transfer of these files, while the user will only need to be on the same network to transfer their data.

Transfer WhatsApp data locally

As indicated WaBetaInformation, this novelty was internally tested, and it could only be identified by the code of the beta application. But now the company is finally releasing this news to some testers from trial version 2.23.9.19 to android.

The portal indicates that working with this feature will be quite simple, users will only need to go to “Settings” whatsapp, type Chats, and select Transfer Conversations. In this case, the user will have the opportunity to perform a local data transfer, which will begin after the user scans the QR code that will be provided by the application.

This migration should be automatic and should not require the user to go through a backup and restore process. Despite this novelty, the site believes that the company will continue to offer migration through Google Drive usually.

Currently, a small group of testers are receiving news, if the functionality does not contain many bugs and works in an acceptable way, the developers will begin to make it available to more beta testers.

After these tests whatsapp you should start rolling out this feature to the stable release of your application. How long it will take for this new feature to reach all users will depend on how the application works with it.
