- Will I lose my Whatsapp chat history if I updated my iPhone OS version? I'm using an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4+ and I've been wanting to update to iOS 5+ for a long time, but I'm afraid of losing all my Whatsapp conversations once I update. Will I really lose all my chat history? And if so, is there anyway I can easily backup the chats?
- What will be the new features on the iPhone that's coming out in September? I've seen on YouTube that on the iPhone 5S/5C/6 will be have better camera, different colors, and that it will be cheaper than the iPhone 5? I want to get a iPhone, but I'm not sure if I should wait until next month or until Saturday to get my iPhone 4S. If the new iPhone will come out next month, on what day will it come out? Help me and thank you for taking your time in reading this and answering my questions…
- What is the basic features in new iphone 5S? I wan tto know the only main major features in iphone 5s which are different from iphone 5. Please let me know if you know.
- My itunes says it hasn't updated een though I updated it? I went to update my iphone and it said I had to update my itunes first and restart my computer (i have a macbook.) So I did all that and went to try and update my phone again and it still said I had to update my itunes first so I did it again and it is still not allowing me to update my iphone. It still says I need the latest version of itunes. What am I do wrong!
