How to transfer WhatsApp chat without backup

According to WABetainfo, WhatsApp users will be able to transfer their messages to another mobile phone safely without leaving WhatsApp with the latest chat transfer feature.

Also, WhatsApp’s chat transfer feature allows the users to transfer their complete account information including all personal messages, photos, videos, and documents excluding the call history.

It is worth mentioning here that the backup feature in WhatsApp was introduced in October 2015 through which users can save their WhatsApp history to Google Drive.
