WhatsApp: how to transfer conversations to another smartphone

Here's how to transfer your WhatsApp conversations to another smartphone. Although this application is more famous and used in the world, the service has some shortcomings especially in terms of message backup. Whenever you use a new device, old messages exchanged do not follow you. We will detail manipulations to achieve in order to solve this problem that are particularly easy to implement.

WhatsApp:Save conversations on Google Drive

To take full advantage of an email application, it is obvious that conversation backup is an essential element. WhatsApp offers a solution associated with Google Drive that synchronizes the conversation history. We will detail the operation of this backup device step by step.
In this menu, it is possible to choose the backup frequency, so we will always have a record of conversations, convenient if you lose your smartphone. In addition, since the solution is integrated directly into WhatsApp, there is no need to use a third-party solution. It's worth noting that in addition to conversations, media files are also archived on Google's cloud. An unavoidable and effective solution. However, there is still another way to save your messages without using Google.
Regarding the restoration of messages, on the new device, when you install WhatsApp and after confirming your phone number, you will be asked if you want to restore conversations that have been saved to your Google Drive account. Once the manipulation done, the download will start automatically and you can recover all messages, as if you had never changed smartphone.

WhatsApp: save manually a conversation

You can also consider uploading backups without using the cloud. For example, WhatsApp offers to send the discussions directly by email. To perform the manipulation, it's very simple again. Your recipient, you or a third party, will receive an email with a text file with the discussion.
Press the "3 small dots" at the top right
     Go to "Settings"
     Then in "Discussions"
     Tap "Send the discussion by mail"
     And finally on "Save"

But regarding Android / iOS backups. It is not yet possible to switch these conversations from an iPhone to an Android device and vice versa. Be careful if an application offers it, it will most certainly be a trap.
