You may now transfer chats to a new phone using WhatsApp thanks to a new function that has been added. WaBetaInfo discovered a new method of message transfer that enables you to restore chats to a new iPhone without the need for a cloud backup option.
Beta users of Android already have access to functionality like this. Here are some specifics.
People will discover a new “Transfer Chats to iPhone” option in the app’s Settings section > Chats, according to the source’s screenshots. This page demonstrates how to move conversation history to a new iPhone without using an iCloud backup.
According to the article, all that is needed to do this is to download WhatsApp on the new phone, sign up using the same phone number, and then use the old device to scan the QR code displayed on the new phone to transfer their chat history.
Those who use up cloud storage space quickly could find this function to be quite helpful. For your information, Apple‘s iCloud only offers 5GB of cloud storage capacity to its subscribers.
In contrast, Google offers at least 15GB of free space spread among all services. Now, restoring chats won’t require using the cloud option; however, this feature isn’t yet accessible to everyone.
Feature Availability
According to the stated source, some beta testers have access to the new feature that lets you transfer talks to another iPhone. If users wish to test out the new functionality, they must make sure they are using the most recent WhatsApp beta for iOS through the TestFlight app.
According to the source, WhatsApp intends to roll out the new functionality to a larger audience over the next several days.

One WhatsApp account may now be used across numerous devices thanks to the platform, and this feature is now present in the app’s stable version.
Up until recently, users could only utilize one account across various computers and laptops, but not smartphones. But the most recent update will alter this.
Similar to how you can connect WhatsApp on web browsers, tablets, and desktops, you can link your phone to up to four more devices. Similar to how you attach your single WhatsApp account to various devices, linking is a simple operation.
The WhatsApp home page > Settings section > Linked devices would provide a function for sharing between several devices. The feature can then be activated by simply tapping on Link a device and following the on-screen directions.
