WhatsApp introduced the ability to transfer chat history from an iOS device to an Android device a few months ago. However, this feature was exclusive to Samsung’s Android smartphones for a limited time. But now it’s available for other Android smartphones as well.
This announcement was made via Google’s official blog post. Users switching from iPhone phones to an Android-powered device can quickly transfer their WhatsApp chat histories using a Lighting To USB Type-C cable and a QR code. However, the feature is currently only available on phones running Android 12. In other words, it means Pixel smartphones running Android 12 can start using the feature.
No other company, including Samsung, has yet released the stable Android 12 update to their smartphones. However, many Android OEMs will start rolling out the Android 12 update to their compatible smartphones by the end of this year, and more people may officially start using the WhatsApp chat history transfer tool.
Prior to the arrival of this feature, users switching from Android to iOS or vice versa had to use third-party tools.
