WhatsApp has updated its iOS app so that users can now move their chat history from Android to iPhone. However, you’d need to download a separate app on Android to do so.
“You can now securely move your chat history from Android to iPhone. Get started by getting the Move to iOS app on your Android phone and follow the on-screen instructions,” wrote WhatsApp in its iOS update page.
Previously, we’ve already reported that WhatsApp had announced the ability—back in June. But they added that the ability would be rolling it out “slowly”.
The ability, although an official one, still requires you to download Apple’s Move to iOS app on Android. But it’s about time that new iPhone users would have the ability to transfer WhatsApp chats from their Android phones. It’s usually a really difficult process if you’ve tried switching before.
According to WhatsApp, you would be able to transfer your account information, profile photo, individual chats, group chats, chat history, media, and settings with the app. You can’t, however, transfer your call history or display name.
Make sure that your Android device has Android OS Lollipop, SDK 21 or above, or Android 5 or above installed, and iOS 15.5 or above installed on your iPhone. Other information is included here in our older post, as well as on WhatsApp’s official FAQ page.
You can also move your chats from iOS to Android, which you can do so through the iOS WhatsApp app right now. Go to Settings, then Chats, and then press Move Chats to Android.
