WhatsApp announced a feature that will let you transfer your chats between Android and iOS. The functionality is limited only to Samsung phones, and WhatsApp has confirmed that this feature is now finally rolling out.

To use this feature, users must have WhatsApp iOS 2.21.160.17 or higher on their old iPhone device and have WhatsApp Android 2.21.16.20 or higher version on their new Samsung phone. WhatsApp users must be using the same phone number as on the old iPhone and the Samsung phone must be new. If it’s not new, users will have to perform a factory reset on their Samsung phones to begin chat transfer.

Most importantly, Samsung users will need a USB Type-C to lightning cable for doing this transfer. Cable transfer also means migrated data does not go to cloud storage and WhatsApp cannot see the data you have transferred.

How to transfer WhatsApp Chat from iOS to Android?

Follow the simple steps mentioned below to migrate your WhatsApp chat history from an iPhone to a compatible Samsung phone.

  1. Switch on the Samsung phone and connect it to the old iPhone using a USB Type-C to Lightning cable when the notification appears.
  2. Follow the Samsung Smart Switch steps for the setup.
  3. When the notification appears, scan the QR code that appears on the new Samsung phone using your iPhone’s camera.
  4. On the iPhone, tap Start and wait for the process to be completed.
  5. Continue to set up the new Samsung phone.
  6. When you reach the home screen, start WhatsApp and log in with the same phone number you used on your old iPhone.
  7. When the notification appears, tap Import, and let the process complete.
  8. Finish activating your new phone and you will then see your chats. WhatsApp says that the data will remain on the old iPhone until you erase your data or delete the WhatsApp app.

According to WhatsApp, the process should soon be expanded to more Android smartphones.
