WhatsApp already lets you migrate chats from Android to iOS, here’s how you’ll do it | Way of life

One of the things that can be problematic for users is the ability to migrate chat history from WhatsApp when you change the operating system on the smartphone. Historically, this has been somewhat traumatic, as the vast majority end up throwing in the towel and, as a result, losing the information. Fortunately, that has changed and it will not happen again. We tell you the reason.

This is none other than the company owned by Meta has announced that it includes a tool that allows transfer data from Android to iOS (and vice versa). As a result, you have nothing to lose when changing terminals, which until now was not possible in a official -which implies perfect operation and does not endanger the information, which is also very important-.
