WhatsApp Makes Moving from Android to iOS Simple

If the prospect of losing your massive archive of WhatsApp conversation history, files, and other data has been holding you back from switching to iOS, you won’t have to. Apple’s current “Migrate to iOS” option will be included into the app today to assist you move your material over. To be clear, functionality is currently in beta, so you may have difficulties throughout the transmission.

You’ll want to pay attention to the Apps and Data Move tab while setting up your iPhone to transfer your files. When you choose “Move data from Android,” your new iPhone searches for the Move to iOS software on your older device and establishes a peer-to-peer connection. You may pick which applications, files, contacts, and other items to transfer to your iPhone from here, and WhatsApp will now be included in that list as of today.

When you choose WhatsApp, it will open instantly and ask for permission to transfer your data. It may take some time to package all of your stuff for transfer to your iPhone, depending on how much you have. Instead of needing to go through the App Store, Apple will pre-load the  symbol on your home page so you can just tap it to continue downloading it on your new iPhone.

When you first open  on iOS, you’ll need to verify before the data is encrypted, but after that’s done, all of your chats should be safely migrated to their new home. You may also opt to back up your WhatsApp talks to iCloud Drive once the transfer is complete to make switching to new iPhones easier.
