Though the users can transfer their chats, the option will not be available to everyone as of now. Whatsapp chat transfer option will only be there on the new Samsung Foldable smartphones, Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3.
Whatsapp Chat Migration Feature Available on New Samsung Foldable Devices
The chat transferring feature was announced at the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked Event 2021. The Whatsapp chat migration feature will only be there on Samsung phones as of now; it is not known when it will be available for all other devices. This move by Samsung will be a part of the company’s Smart Switch tool. It allows you to transfer data like alarms, call logs, photos, and more.
How to Transfer Whatsapp Chats from iPhone to Samsung?
To migrate the Whatsapp chat history from iPhone to Samsung phone, you will need a Lightning to USB-C cable. Connect the two phones together and then scan a QR code to transfer the chats. The iPhone devices running on iOS 10.0 and above supports this feature and Android 10 or above. Sandeep Paruchuri, a product Manager at Whatsapp, said, This new feature will be useful, especially for those who wanted to switch from Android to iPhone or vice versa. As when someone changes the phone, it’s obvious they will need all of their data in the new phone with Whatsapp chats. Earlier there was no option, but now you don’t need to worry. However, all of the users will need to wait for the feature to roll out for all the devices.
