To connect to WhatsApp, you have to identify yourself with your phone number.This has advantages and disadvantages.Many drawbacks.First for privacy, but also because if you want to change your number, you inevitably lose your WhatsApp account and the conversations that go with.

The transfer of Whatsapp conversations facilitated

Recovering your conversations everywhere seems to have become a major issue for WhatsApp, especially since it must now deal with the fierce competition of Telegram which offers a simplified passage between the different platforms.Several ideas are underway, including in particular a system allowing to easily recover your messages written on iPhone from an Android smartphone, and vice versa, which is not possible today due to a backup system on cloud platformsDifferent (iCloud on iOS and Google Drive on Android).

The Wabetainfo site, which searches the source code of the application to discover the new features, was able to extract two screenshots of the application around this functionality.We see a function allowing "to move your discussions to Android".

On these screenshots, we can therefore see that this transfer of conversations can only be done during a first use, WhatsApp warning that it will no longer be possible to do it later if you jump this step.But more importantly, can we read the option "Transfer to a different phone number?"»».

Obviously, as every time Wabetainfo unveils a functionality to come, the latter is not yet available and it is impossible to say if it will arrive soon or if it will take several months before enjoying it.

For example, we are also looking forward to the arrival of synchronization of conversations between different devices.
