Africa-Press<\/a> – Liberia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>WhatsApp will start rolling a new feature that will allow users to transfer their WhatsApp history from iOS to Android.<\/p>\n

According to WhatsApp, this will happen without messages being sent to WhatsApp in the process and will include voice messages, photos and videos.<\/p>\n

In a statement, WhatsApp said when moving from an iPhone to a Samsung Android device, users can transfer account information, the profile photo, individual chats, group chats, chat history, media and settings.<\/p>\n

The feature is currently available to any Samsung device running Android 10 or higher and will soon be available on more Android devices.<\/p>\n

According to WhatsApp, when a person sets up a new device, they will be provided with the option to securely transfer their chats from an old device to a new one. The process will require a USB-C to Lightning cable.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to migrate from iPhone to Samsung:<\/b><\/p>\n

1. Turn on the Samsung device and connect by cable to the iPhone when prompted.<\/p>\n

2. Follow the Samsung Smart Switch experience.<\/p>\n

3. When prompted, scan the QR code displayed on the new device using the iPhone\u2019s camera.<\/p>\n

4. Tap Start on your iPhone, and wait for the process to complete.<\/p>\n

5. Continue setting up the new Samsung device.<\/p>\n

6. When you reach the home screen, open WhatsApp and log in using the same phone number used on your old device.<\/p>\n

7. Tap Import when prompted, and allow the process to complete.<\/p>\n

8. Finish activating your new device.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp is looking to make this option available for more people to switch between platforms of their choice and securely take their chats with them.<\/p>\n

Users need to keep in mind that the old device will still have the data unless the device is wiped or WhatsApp is deleted.<\/p>\n
