Hello,

I am moving to a new phone, and do not want the phenomenal amount of "whatsapp" conversations to come with me to the new phone but on the other hand want to be able to access them on my old phone when needed.

I basically want to use my old phone as a "Whatsapp archive"

How can I make sure that when starting to use "my whatsapp nr" on my new phone, whatsapp won't log out on the old phone and hence I will no longer be able to access old messages ?


Windows / Chrome 112.0.0.0

Do a fresh install of WhatsApp on your new phone. Enter your new number while signing in. The app will check for backups in the local directory. It should pickup the backups from the WhatsApp folder you copied earlier. If not, you can choose to get the backup from Google Drive
