How to transfer WhatsApp chats from one number to another number on different devices.

For over a decade, WhatsApp has been the choice of many people. It’s a means of communication between lots of friends, families, and even enemies. You’d be surprised to know the deep things people do with WhatsApp.

Although, many have criticized WhatsApp for some of the limitations it brings with it – like the inability to use a customized theme, restrictions in the number of forwarded messages.
