WhatsApp: Does update finally bring chat export from Android to iOS?
Those who will soon trade in their Android phone for an iPhone might be in luck. According to a leak, the Messenger service is preparing to export chat histories.
Changing the operating system has already made life difficult for some users and led to and led to rants. WhatsApp chats in particular can only be transferred from Android to the new iPhone with dubious third-party apps or individually. According to the latest WhatsApp leaks, the meta company now seems to have mercy and is supposed to make the chat export between Android and iOS possible soon.
Function emerged in beta version
The blog WABetaInfo reports that in the latest iOS beta version 22.2.74 clear hints can be seen that the rein function from Android to iOS should soon be possible.
The feature is still incative, according to the blog. However, the screenshot suggests that this will change soon. In the picture, you can see how WhatsApp first asks whether the chat history should be imported. After this step, the import is no longer possible. The second part seems to show the import itself, where the smartphone must not be locked and the app must remain open.
However, from when the new update will come and the move will be possible is not yet known.
Move in the other direction already partially possible.
In the opposite direction, i.e. from iOS to Android, the move is possible in some cases. Since last year, moving from an iPhone to certain Samsung phones has been possible. Reining in chats also became possible with Google Pixel devices. According to the leakers, it should soon work with all Android 12 devices and not only with some models.
Testing devices and gadgets is my thing. Some experiments lead to interesting insights, others to demolished phones. I’m hooked on series and can’t imagine life without Netflix. In summer, you’ll find me soaking up the sun by the lake or at a music festival.
