You fear losing the conversations saved on your cell phone when the time comes to upgrade to a newer one.
Normally you recover your conversations when you install WhatsApp on your new phone and link it to your email, which is what the backup copies are for, which are automatically stored in the email, but there is another way to recover your data.
You can use WhatsApp chat transfer feature
The WhatsApp application comes by default with a function called transfer chats, which, as its name suggests, allows you to transfer chats from the application from one phone to another without complications. To do this, follow these steps:
First, open the WhatsApp app. Tap on the three-dot menu at the top right and go to Settings. When you’re in Settings, tap on the Chats section. Then, when you’re in the chats section, scroll down and tap on the option that says Transfer chats. Tap Start to begin the process.
After you do all this, you will need to download WhatsApp on the new phone and register it with the same phone number. To finish, you need to take the old phone and scan the QR code that appears on the new phone and accept a connection request and that’s it.
