WhatsApp has various capabilities for backing up your conversation history, including the ability to keep old messages and other files in a cloud storage service such as Google Drive.
These alternatives by Meta-owned platform allow users to restore conversation history while transferring to a new phone or if they mistakenly lose chats, however, previous options were not simple, forcing some to select other apps while others chose not to restore data.
WhatsApp has released a new data transfer feature that reduces the multi-step process of recovering your conversations and files on a new smartphone without the need for cloud backups.
