Transferring WhatsApp chats from Android to iOS has been a painful task for many years. But not anymore, like Apple and WhatsApp Makes the process a whole lot easier. As of today, Apple is adding a feature that lets you move chats between two platforms The feature is part of Apple’s existing “Move to iOS” Android application. It’s worth noting that the feature is currently only available to beta users, so non-beta users may have to wait a week or two as it is phased out.
This is a big step since 2 million people use WhatsApp and so far, there has been no official way to move conversations between Android and iOS. There are third-party solutions here and there, but nothing has been officially endorsed by Apple or WhatsApp. Once the feature is available, users will be able to quickly move their chats from Android to iOS.
In addition to the need to move to the iOS app, there are a few other requirements that users need to be aware of. Your iPhone must be running iOS 15.5 or higher and your Android phone needs to be Android 5.0 or higher. The latest version of the move to your iOS app, the latest version of WhatsApp on your Android phone, and both your Android and iOS devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Once you’ve sorted through these minimum requirements, go to the iOS app on your Android device. In addition to giving you prompts to transfer calls, texts, etc., you will see a new option for WhatsApp. The transfer process may take some time depending on how many conversations you have, but there are steps to bring your chats with you.
While it’s annoying that iPhone users took so long to get this option, we’re glad to see it come. WhatsApp is one of the biggest chatting apps on the market, and now, you don’t have to worry about shutting down your conversations just because you want to switch smartphones.
