That will no longer be the case. Meta, WhatsApp’s parent firm, has now launched the WhatsApp move to iOS feature for migrating data from Android phones to iOS devices using an app called “Move to iOS.” Users moving from Android devices to iPhones need to download the ‘Move to iOS’ app on their Android phones.

“We’re adding the ability to securely switch between phones and transfer your chat history, photos, videos, and voice messages between Android and iPhone while maintaining end-to-end encryption. This is a top requested feature. We launched the ability switch from iPhone–>Android last year, and now adding Android–>iPhone as well,” said Mark Zuckerberg, Founder & CEO, Meta.

One important thing to remember while using the WhatsApp move to iOS feature is that certain information will be transferred while others won’t.
