Questions about use of Whatsapp
I have two questions. 1) How can I transfer whatsapp chat history data to new phone without uploading to Google drive. I tried sending the file of today's date in Whatsapp>Databases from old phone to new phone using Xender and placed it in same location but this method isn't working for some reason. How to do? 2) I want a specific tool for whatsapp. When someone sends me series of messages. I want to selectively mark some of them as read. Something like Mark as done So that next time I read my chat history I know which things are still left. One simplest way of doing this is to use reactions. I can simply use 👍🏻(thumbs up) reaction to do this. But by doing this the sender gets notified which I don't want as it feels weird, if I react to someone's 2 month old message. Is there some tool I can use. -- 2409:4043:209C:B221:3990:F39E:91CC:C03E (talk) 06:29, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
