WhatsApp tests chat history migration between Android & iOS

Your messaging app of choice might already allow for chat history migration between platforms. But that's something that isn't available on WhatsApp yet—until now. The Facebook-owned messaging service is reportedly testing out this option, which is part of the app's new strategic change to run WhatsApp on multiple devices simultaneously.

A screenshot from WABetaInfo shows that those on iOS need the latest WhatsApp update available on the App Store or Test Flight to avoid any compatibility error with the Android app. We don't know yet how to test this feature or when it'll be released, but we're hoping it comes sooner than later.

'Loki' comes to Disney+ on June 11, here's a new trailer to tease its release

After Wandavision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier's release, Loki will be the next Marvel Cinematic Universe series debuting on Disney+. Now, we have an actual launch date alongside a new trailer to give us a taste of what to expect.

The series follows the events of Avengers: Endgame, where an alternate version of Loki (Tom Hiddleston) took the Tesseract with him and disappeared. The Time Variance Authority later apprehends him. And we see Hiddleston's Loki with TVA official Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson) as he tasks Loki with repairing the variations in the timeline that got destroyed because he broke reality with the Tessaract. But as this trailer shows, it might be a bit tough to trust Loki.

You can now stream 'Fortnite' on Houseparty

If streaming your Fortnite games to your friends appeals to you, that's now possible with Houseparty's new Fortnite integration.

So, your friends can see you live through your smartphone camera while also showing a feed of your active Fortnite game.

According to Epic, the feature supports streams from the PlayStation 4 or 5 or the PC. There are plans to support more platforms in the future. This easy integration was made possible because Epic owns Houseparty after acquiring it in 2019. If you want to find out how you can stream on Houseparty, you can check this FAQ page.
