Brussels, Europe Brief News –In the beginning, users could only transmit conversations in one way; currently, however, WhatsApp enables users to transfer their conversation history from Android to iPhone (from iPhone to Android). Mark Zuckerberg, the Chief Executive Officer of Meta, made the news regarding the feature in a post published on Facebook. In the past, WABetaInfo was the one that uncovered the earliest signs of the feature, which is presently being evaluated in the beta phase. Let’s review the new update, letting new iphone users keep their previous chats.
Update For New iPhone Users
The update resolves a problem that has plagued WhatsApp for a considerable time, notably that it has historically been hard to transfer chats between the two mobile operating systems. This issue has been a major source of frustration for users of WhatsApp. It is easy to transfer talks from one iOS device to another or from one Android device to another; however, it is often impossible to transfer discussions across devices that run different operating systems.

WhatsApp Data Transfer Method
The transfer method only applies to brand new iPhones or those that have been reset to factory settings. It utilizes Apple’s previously established Move to iOS program for Android (which already helps move contacts, calendar entries, SMS messages, and more). Choose the “Move Data from Android” option when setting up your iPhone, and proceed with the instructions outlined in the relevant Android application. Launch WhatsApp after you’ve finished setting up your iPhone completely, and sign in with the same phone number you used before. Your Android conversation history from before should be shown here.
Chat Transfer Requirements
To initiate the transfer, you will need Android 5 or a later version installed on the Android device and iOS 15.5 or later installed on the iPhone. Unfortunately, if you already have a chat history stored on iOS, importing the history from Android will cause it to be overwritten with the new data.

The Takeaway!
According to the information provided by the firm, data that has been migrated will not be saved to cloud storage until after an iCloud backup has been created. In addition, WhatsApp informs users that it cannot see the data being sent and that their Android device will continue to save their data even if WhatsApp is deleted or the device is wiped clean.
Although it has been simple for consumers to transfer their WhatsApp data from one iPhone to another or from one Android device to another, users who have moved from Android to iPhone have had to discover complicated workarounds. This issue will be remedied by the new tool, which will also make it a great deal less difficult to make the transition.
