WhatsApp is one of the most used smartphone applications and is among the first apps we transfer when we shift to a new phone. Sometimes, transferring WhatsApp chats from one phone to another becomes quite difficult.There are two ways you can transfer your WhatsApp chats from one phone to another – using Google Drive or offline transfer.
