Although WhatsApp It is one of the most used instant messaging applications, it has a problem that affects all users from time to time. Yes, we talk about the chat transfer. This task is very cumbersome and it is necessary to have an intermediary that stores the information so that it can later be accessed from another device.
This intermediary is a cloud storage system like Google Drive on Android or iCloud on iPhone. Now, it seems that Meta wants to get rid of this conversation and file transfer system. It just came to light that you will soon be able to transfer your WhatsApp chats from one Android phone to another without having to use Google Drive.
It has been thanks to WABetaInfo that WhatsApp plans have been known. The new beta version that has been launched of the application has a novelty that could completely change how this procedure is done and, above all, it would put an end to the need to use Google Drive.
Transferring your WhatsApp conversations without the need for Google Drive on Android will be a reality
WhatsApp beta 2.23.9.19 includes a method to transfer WhatsApp chats without using Google Drive. This new form would be based on the use of a unique QR code which would be found within the WhatsApp settings.
The operation would be simple, the user would have to download WhatsApp on their new mobile phone and look for this section within the settings. After this, with the old mobile phone you must scan the code to begin the transfer of conversations from one mobile phone to another.

The operation has not yet been tested, but everything indicates that the transfer of these chats will mean a total change when it comes to migrating information from one device to another. Of course, although we are talking about Google Drive, the reality is that it seems that this will be something universal.
It is not the first time that WhatsApp’s work has come to light when it comes to finding new methods with which to transfer chats from one mobile phone to another. Of course, this time the situation may work out and not remain a simple feature in development.
We will have to pay attention to the movements on the part of WhatsApp, although everything indicates that the application will soon receive an important update. Now we just have to wait to see how this functionality evolves within WhatsApp and whether it will apply to both Android and iOS.
