Whatsapp Develops 'Transfer Chat Locally' Feature Without Requiring Cloud Backup
Whatsapp has provided a chat backup feature to the Google Drive cloud service platform for transferring or restoring chat data. The drawback of this feature is that users cannot transfer chats to other devices if the chat data has not back up yet.
To overcome this problem, Whatsapp is rumouring to develop a new feature that allows users to migrate chat data without backing up via the Google Drive cloud service. What does this new feature look like? How to access it?
This new Whatsapp feature allows users to transfer WhatsApp chat data locally from one Android device to another without using the Google Drive cloud service.
The steps to access the chat transfer feature are as follows:
- Go to Settings
- Select the Chats menu
- Select Chat Transfer
- Scan the QR code from the new device
- After the QR code is successfully scanned, the chat data transfer process will be processed.
This chat transfer feature is done through a local P2P (peer-to-peer) connection using Wi-Fi Direct.
The local chat transfer feature will be a very useful additional feature, especially for users living in areas with poor internet connectivity. This new feature will allow users with poor connectivity to move their chat history to a new device locally faster than using an online backup via Google Drive.
According to WABetaInfo, the chat data transfer option only appears for some WhatsApp beta users for Android version V2.23.9.19. WhatsApp has rolled out the feature to only a few lucky beta testers. Even if you try to install the latest WhatsApp beta build, the option may not appear in the Settings menu.
As of now, the release schedule of the chat transfer feature is still unknown. Although the presence of the chat transfer feature seems more straightforward, it looks like the Google Drive backup feature will still be available.
