WhatsApp rolling out new secure chat transfer feature

New Delhi: Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Friday announced a new feature on WhatsApp that allows users to securely transfer WhatsApp chat history between devices on the same operating system.

With the new feature, WhatsApp users can now preserve their complete chat and media history without having to exit the app.

“More secure than using unofficial third-party apps which lack clear privacy practices, and more private than cloud services, the transfer process is authenticated with a QR code, data is only shared between your two devices and is fully encrypted during transfer,” said Zuckerberg.

Another advantage of the feature is that it is faster than backing up and restoring your chat history. It also enables the transfer of large media files and attachments.

According to the company, in order to transfer your chats, it is necessary to have both devices physically with you, connected to Wi-Fi, and location enabled.

On the old phone, go to Settings, then Chats and Chat transfer, and then scan the QR code shown on the screen with your new phone to complete the process.
