If you use WhatsApp and want to switch from an Android phone to an iPhone, your biggest obstacle is that you cannot migrate your WhatsApp message archive to iOS. The fact that there are more than 2 billion people worldwide using WhatsApp as their main communication tool with their friends and family also reveals how important this is.
Switching to an iPhone often means abandoning the photos and conversations that have accumulated over the years in WhatsApp messages. We can even witness that some users carry two phones to solve the problem.
Fortunately, there is now a solution: Apple’s Move to iOS app. The app was already helping to move contacts, calendar, SMS messages and photos from an Android phone to an iPhone. Starting today, you can now also migrate your WhatsApp data from Android to iOS via the app.
Most WhatsApp users are using Android. And it will be interesting to see if this will convince more people using WhatsApp to switch to an iPhone.
