The migration of WhatsApp chats between the Android and iOS operating systems was leaked some time ago, and it was at the recent Samsung Unpacked event that we could see it implemented for the first time on a phone, being the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3 the first to incorporate it.
Apparently, WhatsApp continues to work on this function to be able to take it to other devices and, in the recent beta of WhatsApp for the operating system of the bitten apple, he begins to prove himself pointing out that his official appearance will take place in not too long.
Transferring WhatsApp chats from iOS to Android will be very easy
Thanks to this functionality, it will be much easier to migrate WhatsApp chats from an iOS phone to an Android phone, regardless of the manufacturer of said device. Up to now, this type of functionality was reserved for different payment applications that they were capable of transferring all our history and, despite being recently presented in the Samsung Unpacked, until now the option did not appear in any version of WhatsApp, either beta or official.
Now, as indicated by WaBetaInfo, this changes in the recent beta version 2.21.160.16 of WhatsApp for iOS, where some users can already enjoy it simply by accessing the settings menu of the application itself.
Of course, what we must bear in mind is that if we access the application settings in its beta version we will find this option, but it is not completely complete. According to WaBetaInfo, the process on an Android mobile will require the use of the Switch to Android application, a functionality that will be responsible for transferring a good part of our data from an iPhone to an Android phone, and this is still not available.
Therefore, it seems that the functionality is already beginning to be tested from the iOS operating system side, but It needs to be completed in the part that corresponds to Android. In this system, each manufacturer will be able to implement this process with its own application, and thus we have already been able to see it by Samsung with Smart Switch as well as Google itself, which is already rumored to work in Google Data Transfer Tool and still pending Switch to Android.
