One of the things most of us don’t like doing when we change a new phone is transferring our WhatsApp chat history to a new phone. Especially if you are changing from an Android to an iPhone device or vice versa then it’s going to be a headache. Well, now Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has introduced a new WhatsApp feature where you can easily transfer your whole WhatsApp chat history using a QR code.
This feature only works if you are transferring your WhatsApp data from Android to Android or iPhone to iPhone. This means you don’t need to rely on your Google Drive or iCloud storage anymore. However, if you are moving from Android to iPhone then you need to rely on using the Move to iOS app.
Take a look at the video below and see how easy to transfer all your WhatsApp data by just scanning a QR code.
