WhatsApp is undoubtedly one of the best messaging platforms currently available on smartphones, however, if you are moving from Android to iOS or vice-versa, then transferring WhatsApp backup is not an option. Since Android smartphones use a different cloud backup platform and iOS devices use iCloud, the backup files of Whatsapp on both devices cannot be restored on a different operating system. However, it seems like WhatsApp is now finally working on a new feature that would allow users to transfer the backup files of WhatsApp from Android to iPhone. 

As per the details from WABetaInfo, the company is currently working on a new feature that will let users on Android move their chats to an iPhone. The feature was spotted in the Beta version of WhatsApp iOS v22.2.74 but is not available to all Beta users for now.  As per the reports, WhatsApp will use a Move to iOS app to migrate the messages from Android to iOS devices. For now, if you have a Samsung or a Google Pixel device, you can use the easy migration feature which was released last October.

However, for any other smartphone, you will have to wait for the new feature to be finally available through an update. Apart from this, the company is also planning to launch a new global voice note feature for iOS which allows the user to hear the voice note, even when they exit the same chat and open a different one. We expect the migration feature to appear on WhatsApp in Q2 this year.

Microsoft on Tuesday made one of the biggest acquisitions in the history of gaming. They have announced an agreement to buy Activision Blizzard inc. for $69 billion. If the deal is successful, Microsoft will become the third-largest gaming company in terms of revenue. Microsoft will take over the position and will put Tencent and Sony behind it. The all-cash deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard is going to strengthen the position of the company in the gaming segment and will also bring many more exclusive titles for Xbox players. 

Activision Blizzard is the parent firm of Activision, which is popular for developing some popular gaming franchises like Call of Duty, Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, and Candy Crush. It is not the only company Microsoft has acquired. Infact, the company has been acquiring gaming studios and developers for a long time now as the global gaming industry is aimed to grow to $219 billion by 2024. However, there are a few things that Microsoft might have to keep an eye on in this deal. 

YouTube video

Approximately half the operating profit of Activision last year was due to the Call of Duty series, which means that other gaming titles from them are not earning as much profit as expected. Also, the company has been facing a lot of technical issues recently in their online gameplay as well. Their recent game, Call of Duty: Vanguard had also seen a decrease in the number of sales. Microsoft claims that they are currently looking for long-term results with the deal and would definitely help them to increase and expand their gaming profile.
