WhatsApp Will Make Importing Backups Easier

Arecent reportbyWABetaInforeveals that WhatsApp for Android beta is testing a feature that will provide users witha new option to import chat backupswhile setting up a new phone or WhatsApp account again.

Thisoption will locally import the previously exported chats. This can prove helpful in situations when the Wi-Fi network is slow. For those who don’t know, WhatsApp currently stores chat backups on Google Drive for Android and iCloud for iPhones.

Local chat backup imports will only make the process much easier given that there won’t be any reliance on third-party cloud storage platforms.WABetaInfohas shared a screenshot of what this will look like and you can check it out below.

One thing to note is that the feature is still a work in progress and hence, can’t be accessed by beta users. We can also expect it to land for iOS users soon. However, there’s no word on whether or not this will reach the general audience. And if it does, a timeline isn’t known. We will let you know whenever this happens. Therefore, stay tuned.

In related news, the Meta-owned messaging platform is alsoplanning on adding a new camera shortcut, which will be placed at the top. This is due to the soon-to-be-introduced Communities section, which will replace the current-placed Camera section.
