     Hi Daniel .. this is the reply from David.

   I am hoping you may be able to add to this.
   Hi Stephen,
   Thank you very much for posting the problem and forwarding Daniels
   response.
   Initially this looked promising as I was able to see all my chats on my
   new phone - whoop, whoop!!!! However, when I opened the chats on the
   new phone none of the photo/video files were present. Furthermore, none
   of the media files were listed when I viewed the chat details through
   Settings. When I clicked on the blank media file placard holder within
   the chats, the file downloaded but this isn’t a long term solution. I’d
   like to have all the files on the device and available for viewing
   offline.
   The other concern is what happens when I transfer my WhatsApp account
   to my new phone. By default, it now becomes the primary device and is
   therefore no longer “linked” to my old phone.
   Any further insights Daniel can offer would be very much appreciated.
   Thank you.
