WhatsApp users have been begging for a native method to migrate their conversations from iOS to Android and vice versa for years. Back in April, it was revealed that WhatsApp was working on the feature. It has been four months now and its live starting with the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3.
The announcement was made during the Galaxy Unpacked event today as one of the features of the new phones. iPhone owners picking up the new Galaxy Z phones will be able to migrate their chat history including photos and video.
The chat migration feature will roll out to other Galaxy phones running Android 10 and above in the coming weeks and should eventually be available for all Android devices, though WhatsApp didn’t say when that will be.
Migrating your chat from an iPhone to the Galaxy Z Fold3 or Galaxy Z Flip3 requires a Lightning cable to USB-C cable. This means you won’t be able to get access to your chats if your iPhone is busted. That’s a bummer.
