WhatsApp supports chat history transfers from iPhone to Android, although there are several notable caveats that will impact usability.
WhatsApp is the world’s largest messaging app on mobile devices. It’s all thanks to a few great features that make WhatsApp almost a must-have app. WhatsApp comes with end-to-end encryption, just like iMessage and Signal. The encryption protects chats and calls, and backups will also be encrypted soon. The app is, therefore, an easy way to bridge the iPhone-to-Android communication. It’s a great companion app to have to the main chat app on your iPhone or Android device. The only thing that makes WhatsApp use problematic is Facebook’s loose stance towards privacy. Facebook controversies aside, there’s a significant feature missing from WhatsApp. It’s the iPhone-to-Android chat transfer (and vice-versa) that would let you easily switch devices, regardless of the operating system. The feature is finally happening with a few massive caveats. iPhone and Android are two platforms with millions of loyal fans who would never think of switching to the other side.
