WhatsApp will allow users to transfer their chats between iOS and Android


WhatsApp seeks to provide the multi-device feature as soon as possible for its users to enable them to use the application on multiple devices at the same time without the need for their phone to be connected to the Internet, and while the company continues to work on developing this feature, new leaks appear from time to time that show the extent of the development progress process gives us an initial picture of how the multi-device feature will become when it is available to the public, and This time, the famous WABetaINFO revealed what will happen when an iPhone user connects his device to an Android device to use WhatsApp on both of them at the same time.


At present, when a user switches from iPhone to Android, he is forced to abandon all his conversations because WhatsApp on iPhone backs up conversations to iCloud while he performs this process to Google Drive on Android, and since there is no link between iCloud and Google Drive, there is no official way to transfer conversations between these two different platforms, and therefore some users resort to using third-party applications to transfer their conversations from iPhone to Android, and this is what WhatsApp confirms that it violates their terms of service and exposes their accounts to suspension or ban.

To solve this problem, WhatsApp is now developing an original transfer method that enables users to transfer their conversations from one platform to another directly from the application settings without the need to use any other additional application to do this process as part of the multi-device feature.

Once you try to link your account with a phone running a different operating system, WhatsApp will suggest you transfer all your conversations from your iPhone to an Android device or vice versa, and the app will also ask you to update WhatsApp to the latest available version to avoid any error that might happen during the migration process.

This new feature is still under development, and there is no specific time to arrive when it is available to either beta testers or the public.  Is this new feature important to you? And are you waiting for it impatiently like me? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

DEKUVE Colors 0.1 is a beautiful and promising Linux distro based on Debian

As we said in a previous article, the most important characteristic of GNU Linux operating systems is its versatility, as there is a Linux distribution for everything and every taste and all types and specifications of hardware, it is an operating system that you can run in everything, whatever it is or is. Most of these distributions are derived or based from one of these parent distributions: Debian (like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, MX Linux...), Arch Linux (like Manjaro, EndeavourOS, Garuda Linux...), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux aka RHEL (like Fedora, CentOS, ClearOS...).  These derivative distributions are also divided into two types: the first one, where developers take the base of one of the other Linux distributions and build their distribution on it, by adding their packages and desktop environment, such as a Linux Mint distribution, for example, which develops the Cinnamon desktop interface and uses it in its main release, or uses a desktop interface already exists as Manjaro do, whi

A new beta version of the Rufus installation images burning tool was recently released with several new features, the most important of which is the ability to bypass Windows 11 restrictions for in-place upgrades. Rufus is a free and open-source tool that helps create bootable USB flash drives from ISO images.

This tool supports burning Windows installation images, from Windows XP SP2 and above, including the recently released Windows 11. After the release of Windows 11, Microsoft announced an update to the minimum specifications required to install the new system, the most important of which is that the computer must have a modern processor, TPM 2.0, and it must support secure boot too, to be compatible with Windows 11.  Many users did not like this, which made Microsoft allow Windows 11 to be installed on non-compatible devices by making some modifications in the system registry.
