It will likely make it even more difficult to switch between platforms.
However, the update comes with a new challenge. Whatsapp already supports cloud-backup on services from other platforms such as Android ( Google Drive) and Apple (iCloud). This seriously compromised user data and privacy. Furthermore, users then had to transfer the data back into their new Windows devices through the same third party app. In order to do so, users had to first install a third party app and then transfer their data to the downloaded app. Until now, if users had to transfer data from one Windows device to another, the same wasn’t possible.
The update is expected to be rolled out gradually to all users. This can come in handy when backing up WhatsApp data while changing devices. The update, which is currently in its last phase of beta testing, enables OneDrive integration in WhatsApp. However, it seems that the company is planning to bring a new update for its Windows 10 mobile app. Facebook-owned Whatsapp regularly updates its iOS and Android apps.
