• The memory of the new device should not be full. To prepare the necessary free space, unused programs are deleted.
• File transfer is allowed only between phones with the same operating systems. Transferring data to another platform is not possible.

If a user changes Android to iPhone or vice versa, personal profile information is not saved. You will have to create another account. Contact numbers of the previous page can be sent to e-mail.

Reinstalling on a computer

To use the messenger on a stationary device, there are several ways to install the web version on a computer. Programmers are advised to install “Whatsapp” through the Android emulator. To do this, you first need to download a program that gives PC users access to work with platform applications. Most choose a BlueStacks partnership with Google.

Then “Vatsap” is downloaded, and the installation file is formatted in apk. After that, the emulator starts and the messenger is installed through it. To bind an account, you need to enter a phone number, which will receive a code confirming registration.

Proper connection of the headset allows PC users to use almost all the functionality of the application installed through the emulator. A smartphone’s connection to the Internet is required only to activate the profile.
