Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose any messages during transfer?
If you have a recent backup, no messages are lost. Any messages received between your last backup and the transfer will sync through WeTalkin's encrypted delivery system once you restore and connect.
Can I transfer between iPhone and Android?
Yes. WeTalkin's encrypted backup system is cross-platform. You can transfer from iPhone to Android or vice versa using the same backup and restore process.
Do I need to re-verify contacts?
Contact safety numbers may change if your encryption keys are regenerated on the new device. Your contacts will be notified of the key change. Re-verify safety numbers for your most sensitive contacts.
