WhatsApp for iOS can immediately bring the ability to let the user move their chat history from an Android device to the iPhone. At present, whatsapp users on the iPhone can only migrate their chat from an existing iPhone handset and cannot move their chat history from an Android device. Last year, instant messaging applications allow users to some Samsung and Google Pixel phones to transfer their chat from the iPhone.
According to a report by WhatsApp Beta Tracker Wabetainfo, WhatsApp for IOS Beta version 22.2.74 has brought a reference about the ability to import chat history from Android devices. Screenshot has been distributed by sources that show whatsapp ask their permission to import chat history.
New experience is not yet available for beta testers. Therefore, it may take time to come true for end users.
In September last year, whatsapp released beta version 2.21.20.11 for Android users who have suggested the option to move chat history to iOS from an Android device. Similar indications initially appeared on WhatsApp for Android beta version 2.21.19.1 earlier that month.
Users may need to physically connect their Android phone with new iOS devices using a type-c-to-lightning USB cable to move the history of chat. The migration process can also require users to install Apple Move to iOS App on their Android device, Wabetainfo has suggested.
In August last year, WhatsApp introduced the convoy transfer feature from iOS to choose Samsung devices. It was expanded to the Google Pixel device at the end of October. Features for migrating the chat from iOS are also available for Android 12 out-of-the-box devices.
