Will my messenger data transfer with Smart Switch?
Smart Switch allows you to transfer messages on your Android™ or iOS devices from apps such as WhatsApp or Kakao Talk to a new Samsung device. Know how Smart Switch makes it possible below.
To share your messenger application data, you must remember to back up the data and update the applications to the most recent version.
If you want to import data, you must review these conditions:
- Smart Switch version: 3.7.21.5 or more.
- WhatsApp version:
- iOS: 2.21.160.13 or more.
- Android: 2.21.16.16 or more.
