In August 2021, Samsung announced that WhatsApp users will finally be able to transfer their chat histories from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. It was then said that owners of non-Samsung Android phones will get this feature too in the future, and now that future has arrived. On Tuesday, Google announced that users can now transfer their WhatsApp chat history from an iPhone to an Android 12 phone. It only works on phones running Android 12. Credit: google To get started, connect the phones with a USB-C to Lightning cable.

However, we are also aware of the WhatsApp breaches which are very commonplace.  This brings us to the question of security. WhatsApp has stated that no third parties will be able to view anyone's WhatsApp chats, photographs, or videos. Facebook does not have access to the information, and WhatsApp does not have access to it either. The chats can only be read by the sender and receiver due to the end-to-end encryption policy. In spite of all the security features, chats are leaked and this could be extremely dangerous. In the end, all of your information is stored on your phone or on a cloud drive. When there is a suspicion of wrongdoing or criminal conduct, the same information can be made available to government authorities upon request. Also, if a screenshot of the chats has been taken, it can be leaked as it will not fall under the purview…

Photo: WABetainfo.comWhatsApp is rolling out a new status update feature which will allow users to "undo" status updates they posted by mistake, says WABetainfo.com. The development comes on the heels of WhatsApp's move to publish a new status update about view once. "'Undo' allows quickly deleting a status update, that may have been posted by mistake," says WABetainfo.com. A user can already delete a status update for everyone. However, with the undo status update option, it will become faster and more convenient for users to delete a status update they may have either posted by mistake or regret uploading it. Note that, when you delete/undo a status update, you can even follow the deletion process now: when completed, WhatsApp will inform you that you deleted your status update.This feature is available today for specific beta testers and more activations are planned for the next updates.

A GROUP including a football club chairman and players, shared highly explicit photos and made derogatory comments to a female member of staff, an FA disciplinary panel has found. The FA investigated after a former female physio at Malvern Town Football Club complained about a game and a WhatsApp chat in which a number of comments were made, with photos of male genitalia being sent too. Chairman Chris Pinder apologised after the club was found to have not taken seriously accusations from a female physio, who we have decided not to name, of sexist behaviour and comments. At one point, photos of male genitalia were shared by player James Febery. The FA judgement, available on the Worcestershire FA's website, states that on March 5 this year, a Zoom call was arranged with 25 participants including Mr Pinder and first team staff Dene Whittall-Williams and Lee Hooper. Some first team players and under-18s squad members were also involved, as was the physio who made the complaints, who has since left the club. The participants were playing a game via an app on their mobile phones which involved the participants voting on a favourite answer. The app randomly generated a question about…
