WhatsApp and Apple have announced that data from the Android chat app will now be ported to iOS. The feature will be available in WhatsApp’s beta version. It will be phased in over the course of a week to reach all users.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the development in a Facebook post.
“We’re adding to WhatsApp the ability to securely switch between phones and transfer your chat history, photos, videos, and voice messages between Android and iPhone while maintaining end-to-end encryption. This is a top requested feature. We launched the ability to switch from iPhone–>Android last year, and now adding Android–>iPhone as well,” he wrote in a Facebook post.
To transfer the data, your Android smartphone must be running Android 5 or higher, and your iPhone must be running iOS 15.5 or higher.
Last year, the feature to move WhatsApp data from iOS to Android was launched.
