Over the years, WhatsApp has continuously added new features to improve the user experience. According to the latest news, WhatsApp’s Android 2.23.1.26 beta update has added a chat history transfer option.
With this feature, WhatsApp will make it easier to transfer chat history to new Android phones without additional uploading to Google Drive.

As you can see from the screenshots, users can more safely transfer their chat history to a new Android phone without using Google Drive. However, it should be noted that in order to allow the application to transfer chat history to other devices, some permissions may be required.
This feature is currently under development and is planned to be released in a future update. However, the exact launch date is not yet known. For more technology information, please continue to stay on the Chinese version of TechNave!
