Although, as we have mentioned at some point before, the year 2021 has not started with a very good footing for an application so hugely popular in the instant messaging sector as is the case of WhatsApp , it seems that the company does not stop work intensively on the launch of new functionalities and tools.
And, on this occasion, we would find ourselves with the resolution of a request highly requested by many users over the years: the possibility of allowing the migration of data between iPhone and Android , something that, so far, has not it was possible.
Not surprisingly, if at some point or other you have found yourself in the position of changing from mobile phone, going from Android to iPhone, or vice versa, it is very possible that you will find yourself with the problem of not being able to migrate from one platform to another. Older messages, so the only solution available was to lose them forever.
Soon it will be possible to transfer backups between iOS and Android on WhatsApp
It seems that we are facing a very useful functionality that would become one of the essential steps for the transformation that this app has been pursuing for some time: becoming a multiplatform application , which would also solve another very common problem, since it is not possible to use the same phone number on different devices independently.
So far, this is mainly due to the way the app works, as it tends to store and preserve conversations only locally, so accessing old messages from multiple devices requires real-time conversation synchronization. in each one of them.
Also, on iOS and Android, encrypted backups tend to be done differently , which is why until now it was not entirely possible to easily transfer old conversations between different platforms.
However, it seems that the company has found itself working on a possible solution, and we have already learned of the existence of a preview of the transfer screen from Android to iOS, which would bring us slightly closer to how this option would work.
At the moment, it is true, no more is known about the process, although it is expected that you must have the latest version of WhatsApp to be able to validate the migration between platforms at all times.
