WhatsApp now lets you transfer your chat history from Android to iPhone - The Verge

WhatsApp is adding the ability to transfer your conversation history from Android to iPhone. It makes use of Apple’s Move to iOS app for Android, which can be activated during setup.

WhatsApp is adding the ability to transfer your conversation history from Android to iPhone after previously only allowing users to transfer chats the other way (from iPhone to Android). The functionality was announced by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a Facebook post. Early signs of the feature, which is rolling out in beta for now, were previously spotted by WABetaInfo.

The update helps with a long-standing WhatsApp issue, which is that it’s historically been difficult to transfer chats between the two mobile operating systems. It’s easy to transfer chats from one iOS device to another or from one Android device to another but generally not between the two different operating systems.
