A quick look at WhatsApp users: Today, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that users will now be able to switch between Android and iPhone without losing the encryption of their messages.
As Zuckerberg pointed out, this has been a highly sought-after feature, offering more flexibility and security to many WhatsApp users who want to switch to a new device.
WhatsApp last year added the ability to transfer your data from iPhone to Android, which had been a key point for many WhatsApp users.
Prior to last year’s update, transferring your information meant losing your chat history, as there was no way to keep the transition secure. Because WhatsApp chats are end-to-end encrypted and stored on the device, Meta says it had to work collaboratively with operating system developers to find a solution that would facilitate data sharing. this way.
And now, those who switch between Android and iPhone will have the same capability, which will give users more options in selecting and managing their device.
The updated process is being implemented for all WhatsApp users starting today.
