WhatsApp?
It did that to me, I wasn't too interested to transfer my history to my new phone, but I wanted to export all my messages for archiving.
But no, as soon as I had logged in to my new phone it would not let me get them anymore.
I tried to get around it but after 2 attempts it seemed to reset itself and wanted to setup a new account instead. -
@slar you can just copy the whatsapp folder to the new phone before you install whatsapp and it should be able to restore conversations from the backups
Found this in our codebase, apparently one of my co-workers had written this
Me - Wants to transfer chat history.
App: "Log in to the new device and scan this QR Code to start transfer."
Me - Logs in on new device.
App: "Oh, a new device logged in? Let's log you out from your old device. It's not like this feature you are trying to use specifically requires 2 devices to be logged on at the same time while I literally don't allow multiple devices to be logged on at the same time. You're welcome."
