Transfer chats from iPhone to Android device on WhatsApp soon available

WhatsApp

This is one of the oldest lawsuits among users of the WhatsApp messaging application. It's about power transfer all the chats or chats that we want from an iOS device to an Android one and vice versa all this simply and quickly.

The feature was officially announced at the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event, so it will soon be active in the models of the South Korean firm. On the other hand, it is important to note that WhatsApp tested the function during the last weeks and found that it was difficult to implement in all OSs due to the "end-to-end encryption", which requires additional assistance to make it work. In any case, it seems that the main problems have already been solved and now they are ready to take the plunge.

The new Galaxy Fold first to have this functionality

From what we can see this data transfer called Smart Switch, will arrive first on devices with Android operating system, and specifically on Samsung Galaxy Fold smartphones. Logically it is "a good move" by Samsung to attract more customers or ease a bit the steps to those who have an iPhone and want to switch to Samsung, since with it facilitates the transfer of chats from an iPhone to a device of the South Korean firm simply and without losing anything.

This data transfer option includes the chats themselves, photos, videos and voice notes, and should be available from now on for the Samsung Galaxy Fold, then for Samsung devices other than the new model, Android and finally for iOS, without an approximate period of time for your arrival. WhatsApp has not officially said when they will launch the new function for the rest of the systems, so at the moment we are not clear that the transfer of this data can be done in the opposite direction, from Samsung devices to iOS.
