One of the problems that users usually have when changing systems on their mobile is being able to keep the information they contain. Pass from Android and iOS and vice versa has those little drawbacks.
Migrating the address book or other similar data is very easy. The problem comes with the information that the different applications contain. If such data is stored on external servers, such as Telegram's, there is no problem. But if they are saved on the device, as is the case with WhatsApp, is another story. It seems that its developers want to fix it.
BetaInfo just posted a report where he explains that WhatsApp is testing the ability to easily migrate chat history between an iPhone and an Android device.
As reported by said website, this feature is part of a strategic change in the WhatsApp application. The company had been exploring the possibility of using WhatsApp on multiple devices at the same time, and they have started with the ability to migrate chat history between iOS and Android and vice versa.
When a user tries to link a device that has a different operating system to his WhatsApp account, it is always necessary to update to the latest version of WhatsApp available on the App Store o Google Play, to avoid any compatibility error with the Android version.
Although there is no information on how to test this feature and there is no release date available, it is still interesting to know that the company is putting its effort into something that already exists in other messaging apps, such as Telegram.
The possibility of using the same WhatsApp account on multiple devices is one of the most requested features by users, as well as a version for Instagram iPad. Let's see which one of them comes to users first.
