whatsapp messages after re installing?

[Filip Arsenijevic]

Hey , i had whatsapp on my phone and i broke its screen few weeks ago and now i have gotten a new phone. I am wondering , willl i get the messages i have got in meantime if i do a fresh install of whatsapp on the other new phone , or should i try fixing the old one ? The messages are really important to me... Thanks

The messages on the old phone must be backed up first (to a computer for example), then moved to the new phone before installing whatsapp on it. Upon installation the messages are identified and then it asks the user if he wants to restore them.
