WhatsApp, the most popular instant messaging application with millions of users from all over the world, continues to receive new features every day. Finally, it was announced that the application has the feature of carrying messages. Here’s what you need to know about WhatsApp Message Migration…
Message Transport feature came to WhatsApp!
When WhatsApp users wanted to move their messages from their current phone to another phone, there was only one option for that. That was backing up all chats to Google Drive/iCloud and downloading them back to the new device. This can be very tedious at times. However, the new feature coming to WhatsApp seems to make it easier.
Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, announced that a new message porting feature has come to WhatsApp with his statement on the announcement channel on Instagram. This QR-based feature eliminates the need for cloud migration.
How do you access the new features of WhatsApp before everyone else?
In this content, we explained how you, as a WhatsApp beta user, can access new features before anyone else.
According to the information shared by Mark Zuckerberg, thanks to this feature, it is possible to transfer messages between devices using the same operating system by scanning a QR code. So it can be transferred from Android to Android, from iOS to iOS.
While this new feature is more convenient than cloud-based migration, there is also no migration limit. For example, while only a maximum of 5 GB of data can be transferred with services such as iCloud or Google Drive, you can move without any limitations thanks to this new feature.
Message Transport feature has been made available to everyone. However, some WhatsApp users state that they still cannot access the feature. For this reason, it is worth noting that it may take some time before it is available to everyone.
