American tech giant Google announced on Tuesday that users can now transfer their WhatsApp chat history from an iPhone to an Android 12 phone.
As per ANI, Google said that making this work wasn’t trivial. On Android 12, users can transfer most of their apps and data from iPhone to Android. But some types of data are hard to move over, which is why Google worked with WhatsApp to enable the new functionality.
This feature works on Samsung Galaxy devices and all Pixel phones, and will become available on new smartphones that launch with Android 12.
The problem is, no other Android phones are shipping with Android 12 right now, though many manufacturers are working on getting their devices updated.
To get started, connect the phones with a USB-C to Lightning cable. While setting up a new Android device, scan a QR code on your iPhone, which will launch WhatsApp and move all your stuff to the new device. Alternatively, instead of scanning the code, the user can open WhatsApp, and go to Settings – Chats – Move Chats to Android.
