For the longest time, there was no official feature for WhatsApp Android to iPhone data transfer. You either had to rely on third-party apps that usually didn't work properly or just start from scratch. Finally, WhatsApp has made this feature available for everyone.
Moving WhatsApp data from one Android phone to another has never been a problem. It's always a headache if moving from Android to iOS or vice versa. A few weeks ago, WhatsApp announced an official feature that would make it much easier to transfer WhatsApp data from Android to iPhone.
All you need now for the WhatsApp Android to iPhone transfer is version 2.22.7.74 of the app or above installed on an Android 5.0+ device. The iPhone must have WhatsApp version 2.22.10.70 or above on an iOS 5.5+ device.
The data is then easily transferred with just a few taps. There is just one caveat. Any payment messages and call history won't be transferred. Everything else, this includes chats, media, and group chats, will be seamlessly transferred. WhatsApp has already simplified the data transfer from an iPhone to an Android device. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 was actually the first phone to get this feature.
WhatsApp has posted a detailed guide on its help center and lists all of the steps that you need to take to migrate data from Android to iPhone. However, considering how Android-powered devices like Samsung's foldables can provide a superior user experience, why would one want to switch to an iPhone is beyond comprehension!
