WhatsApp finally makes it possible to transfer chat from iPhone to Android phone

Migrate WhatsApp data from iPhone to Samsung: WhatsApp finally makes it possible to transfer your WhatsApp chat history from your iPhone to an Android phone. This is one of the most requested features that WhatsApp has been able to enable is to transfer chat history from one operating system to another when switching calls.

For the first time on any Android smartphone, you can securely transfer your WhatsApp data including your conversations and photos from your old iPhone to your new Galaxy smartphone.

This happens without your messages are sent to WhatsApp while it is in progress and includes voice messages, photos, and videos. For starters, this feature is available on any Samsung device running Android 10 or higher and will be available on most Android devices soon.

When you set up a new device, you will have the opportunity to transfer your conversations securely from your old device to your new one, as long as you have access to the USB-C cable to the Lightning.
