WhatsApp users have long asked the developers of the messenger to develop a mechanism for transferring chats from iOS to Android and vice versa built into the application. In April, it became known that WhatsApp is working on this feature. Four months later, it debuted alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 presented yesterday.
The announcement took place during the Galaxy Unpacked event. The feature to transfer WhatsApp chats from iPhone is among one of the features of the new smartphones. iPhone owners who decide to upgrade to Samsung’s new products will be able to completely transfer their WhatsApp chat history, including attached photos and videos.
Transferring WhatsApp chats will be available out to other Samsung Galaxy smartphones running Android 10 and newer in the coming weeks. It will eventually become available on other Android devices, although WhatsApp does not say when this will happen.
Users will need a Lightning to USB-C cable to transfer chats from iPhone to Galaxy Z Fold 3 or Galaxy Z Flip, Also wireless data transfer is not available yet and we hope WhatsApp will still work more on this.
