WhatsApp to Allow Local Chat Transfer Without Google Drive.
WhatsApp is testing a new feature that allows users to transfer chats between devices without using Google Drive. The local chat transfer option is available for some users of the WhatsApp beta app and can be accessed from the Chats section of the app's settings. The transfer likely happens over Wi-Fi Direct, and it's unclear if both chat messages and media are transferred. The feature is expected to be available for all WhatsApp users in the future.
