However, I am
very unhappy customer on Android. The fact, that there is a high probability to lose all prior conversations when switching/ upgrading one's handset is extremely disappointing and a good reason to switch to another messaging app. Due to lack of conversation history the barriers to exit are close to zero since the majority of my (relevant) contacts are on other apps (Threema, WeChat) as well.
Unfortunately, there was no solution to this (known) issue even after investing substantial time, e.g. going the Python route.
My communication with WhatsApp CS was limited to "sorry, we're small, look at our website's FAQ, sorry, there is no solution, goodbye."
