Overcoming the mobile gap between iPhone and Android is, to put it mildly, a two-way process. Your whatsapp chat history, on the other hand, hasn’t been able to bridge the gap.
Switchers from iPhones were given the chance to export their data to Samsung Galaxy and Pixel devices last year. However, until now, there hasn’t been much news about work in the opposite direction.
The CEO of WhatsApp’s parent company, Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, revealed on his Facebook page that the firm has enabled Android-to-iPhone account transfers online.
More About The New Whatsapp Chat History Sharing Update
Users must have an Android 5 Lollipop or later handset with WhatsApp version 2.22.7.74 or above, as well as be on their way to a device with iOS 15.5 or later — for iPhones that Apple now supports, you’ll likely get a software update after initial boot that will bring you up to that level.
All of the magic happens in the Move to iOS app, as you would have guessed from previous information. Before continuing with the workflow, users must click a new checkbox for WhatsApp data on the Transfer Data screen.
After that, they’ll need to download WhatsApp v2.22.10.70 on their new iPhone and log in using the same account, i.e., the same phone number. Except for messages containing peer-to-peer payments, images, videos, and voice chats, the transfer procedure will bring users’ chat history with them. The call history will be saved.
It’s still a bummer that iOS-to-Android WhatsApp transfers only function on a select few handsets, but third-party services like Wondershare’s (full disclosure: link leads to a sponsored piece) can assist those switching to a Motorola or OnePlus device.
