Just ordered a Google Pixel 9a 5G mobile I previously had an Android phone.

Just realised will the WhatsAPP app work okay on this phone?

    Yes, it’ll work exactly the same as your previous phone. Just make sure you back up your WhatsApp chats on your old phone first (Google Drive backup if you were already on Android), then when you log in on your new Pixel it’ll restore everything for you.

    Nice choice on the Pixel 9a – they’re great phones for the price!

    I have a 9a bought recently. Whatsapp is fine and all previous messages from the last phone came across. Everything transfered via Google.
