WhatsApp testing a new Syncing Devices feature with latest beta version 2.21.10.6
Earlier, WhatsApp has been working on a chat history migration feature for Android users and released a beta update with version 2.21.9.7 last month. Meanwhile, it was already avaialble for iOS users.
As of now, the method of chat history migration is still unknown but there is the possibility that Google Drive will be used to temporarily store the chat history.
Here’s the question that pop-ups in the user’s mind, what happens after the chat is migrated to another device?. The answer is in the new WhatsApp beta update.
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has announced the latest WhatsApp beta update for syncing devices with version 2.21.10.6. The current status of this version under development and will be available in the future stable update.
After the chat migration, the devices will start to be in sync with each other and this is useful for some chat history like pinned, starred messages, or any other background service.
When both the current and other devices working with the same WhatsApp account and chat syncing started, a notification will be presented on the main device. But the actions related to chat deletion won’t be applied on another device like:
- Deleting a chat on a device won’t remove the same chat on another device.
- Deleting a specific message for everyone will delete it on any linked device.
- Deleting a specific message for you won’t delete it on linked devices.
Note:
WhatsApp is still working on multi-device and what needs to be synced, so everything might change before the release: the last word has not been said yet.
