WhatsApp Now Supports Android to iOS Migration
According to a recent announcement from WhatsApp, users can now transfer their chat history from Android to iOS.
Prior to now, the sole method for transferring WhatsApp conversations from iOS to Android was prone to mistakes. This migration frequently occurs between two operating systems, not just one.
Users who wish to use this function must first have the “Move to iOS” application installed on their device for the transfer to begin. This feature is much needed but is still not as frictionless as it should be. The iPhone that will be receiving the transfer must either be brand-new or have undergone a factory reset. The transfer will take place when the iPhone is being set up and signed in, which is the reason.
After switching from Android to iOS, everything pertaining to your WhatsApp account and the backed-up chat data will be accessible on your new iPhone. Your WhatsApp call history won’t be transferred throughout this process, but the business didn’t say why. To begin your migration, adhere to these instructions:
- Install the “Move to iOS” application on your Android device and open it.
- Follow the onscreen prompts, and you will receive a code on the iPhone you’re moving to.
- Enter the code on your Android device, tap “Continue” and follow the process it requests of you.
- Among data that you want to transfer (Android to iOS), select WhatsApp.
- Tap “Start” to initiate the transfer process.
- Accept the transfer on your iPhone and wait for the Move to iOS application to finish transferring your data.
- Once done, download the WhatsApp application on your iPhone and sign in. Once your iPhone is completely active, all your chats will be available.
If this method is unclear to you, you may want to consider backing up your WhatsApp chat history to your Google One storage. Anyone who wishes to switch from the Android ecosystem to the Apple one can do so using this function.
