WhatsApp for instant messaging is now launching a new service that will help people change their phones every now and then.

According to ”The Verge”, users will be able to transfer records of conversations, including voice messages, photos and videos, when they change phones from IOS to Android.

For a long time there were rumors that WhatsApp would launch the service.

The first phase of the service, which will take place in the coming weeks, will cover the transfer of records from IOS phones to new Samsung Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3 phones.

In the second phase, the service will cover transfers between the phones of the two systems, but it is unclear when the service will be available to all telephones.

The service addresses a frustrating aspect of WhatsApp, as records of conversations between different phones in the operating system were not previously available.

Users typically store the backup in the iCloud software for the IOS system, while users of Samsung phones, for example, store the backup in the Google Drive software for the Android devices.

So, it was only possible to move your conversations between phones running the same operating system.
