WhatsApp rolls out chat transfer feature for iPhone users switching to Android

WhatsApp noted that the feature will have the ability to move user’s entire WhatsApp chat history including voice notes, photos, and conversations if users choose to switch mobile operating systems.

WhatsApp has started rolling out the chat transfer feature from iOS to Android for select users. The feature will come in handy for iPhone users looking to switch to an Android phone. iPhone users with iOS version 2.21.160.16 can check for the feature by going to Settings then Chats on WhatsApp. If the feature is live for users, they can see the ‘Move chats to Android’ option. The feature was first announced at the Samsung Unpacked event on August 11 and will initially be available to iPhone users migrating their chats to Samsung phones. Users can also email their chat history to themselves or enable their settings to save their chats on Google Drive or iCloud but these chats will not be restored on the new phone.
