WhatsApp plans to transfer data between Android, iOS devices
WhatsApp chats can now be streamed between Android and iOS devices after a new update planned for the Meta-owned messaging app.
The found source code of WhatsApp 22.74 Beta for iOS reveals this. However, the migration process is not easy and requires apps to be installed on both devices and may involve a wired or private WiFi connection. In contrast, other messaging apps use Google Drive, iCloud, or their own cloud services to store and sync user data.
WhatsApp has recently added new features to its desktop and Android apps. The Android app will get new pencil and drawing tools in a future update, while WhatsApp Desktop will get new chat bubble colors. The desktop app also gets a new dark blue color that’s only visible in dark theme mode.
The messaging app is also testing a new emoji message reaction info tab and new message reaction notification settings. WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo says WhatsApp is introducing a new drawing tool to its Android app.
You get two pens, one thinner and one thicker than the existing pen. The app is also working on fuzzing tools that may be added in the future.
The new features appear in the WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.22.5 update, but they are disabled by default.
These features are still in development and may soon be available to WhatsApp beta testers.
