Transfer WhatsApp chats from iPhone to Android
Previously, it was only possible to transfer your chats between phones running the same operating system. Mark Zuckerburg, CEO of Facebook, now lets know that people with an Android can now also transfer their chats to a iPhone† This fulfills one of the most requested functions for people who switch to an iPhone. To transfer your WhatsApp data, follow the steps below. You do need an iPhone with iOS 15.5 or newer, reports iCulture† They also indicate that both your Android device and iPhone must be connected to the same network.
- Install the Switch to iOS app from Apple on your Android phone
- Follow the steps in the app
- When setting up the iPhone, choose Transfer from Android
- Install WhatsApp on your iPhone and register with your phone number

You can then use WhatsApp’s cloud backup feature to save your chat history. For iOS, iCloud is used for this, while the chat history of Android phones is in Google Drive.
With the Move to iOS app, you can migrate all your data to an iPhone or iPad, including contact information, photos, videos, and calendars. Now that WhatsApp chats are included, it is also more attractive for people to switch to an iPhone. We certainly hope they don’t.
