For many years, the chat transfer feature that almost every online chat application has had, unfortunately, was not fully functional in the most popular chat application WhatsApp. You still can’t move your chats from Android to iOS on WhatsApp, but that seems to be changing, according to the latest findings.
According to WABetaInfo’s findings, WhatsApp may be working on a feature that will allow you to migrate your chat history from Android to iOS. The feature was first spotted in the latest WhatsApp beta version 22.2.74 for iOS. This update points to a feature that could let you transfer your WhatsApp chats from Android to iOS using the Move to iOS app.
WhatsApp will ask you for permission and tell you to keep your phone on
WABetaInfo also shared a few screenshots showing what the feature might look like. Looking at the images, it seems that WhatsApp will ask the user for permission before starting the transfer process, and then ask you to keep the app and your phone unlocked while moving your chats.
WhatsApp first started allowing users to migrate their chat history from iOS to Samsung phones and later expanded the feature to support chat transfers from iOS to Google Pixel and other Android 12 devices.
Allowing users to transfer their chats from Android to iOS will of course be the biggest improvement yet, but it remains unclear which devices will support the feature and when it will be available. What are you thinking? Please do not forget to express your thoughts in the comments.
