WhatsApp recently announced one of the best features since they founded the messaging app: Chat history could be shared from IOS mobile to Android mobile easily. It may sound strange that this cannot be done yet, but it is: in 2021 there is no simple way to transfer chat history between operating systems. Today we have more data on this feature and bad news for a large number of users around the world. Only if you are thinking of buying a Samsung can you rejoice.
Transfer WhatsApp History from IOS to Android – Samsung Only
The company just announced that this feature, for the time being, It will only be available for Samsung mobiles. The reason? It is completely unknown. What we do know is that if you currently have an iPhone you can easily transfer your message, audio and photo history to a Samsung mobile.
The rest of Android devices they are left without this possibility, at least at the beginning of the function. It is quite rare that WhatsApp discriminates by brand and it is one of the first times that we see something like this in the messaging application: normally the functions reach everyone equally.
Samsung is one of the top-selling brands in the world, so many users who they go from an iPhone to an Android mobile they will do it to Samsung, although not all. Xiaomi, Pixel, realme and others will be unable to transfer chats.
Of course, this is bad news for all those users who want to go from an iPhone to a Android mobile and currently use WhatsApp. Still, WhatsApp has indicated that this decision is only at the beginning of the feature, so it is possible that support for other Android devices other than Samsung will be activated.
