Till now, if you decided to switch, <span>you had to mostly start over with no chat history on the other platform, or use a bunch of tools to clumsily move your stuff over without a guarantee of success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, WhatsApp is now <span>rolling out a feature to easily transfer your chats<\/span>&nbsp;from iPhones to Android phones. However, the feature will be only compatible with phones running Android 12, the latest version of the OS.<\/p>\n<p>To transfer your chats, you\u2019ll need a USB-C to Lightning cable, which is shipped with last year\u2019s and this year\u2019s iPhone models. Once you\u2019ve connected both phones, follow the process below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open WhatsApp on your iPhone.<\/li>\n<li>Go to <em>Settings &gt; Chats<\/em> and tap on the <em>Move chats to Android<\/em> option.<\/li>\n<li>WhatsApp will prepare your chat backup.<\/li>\n<li>When you\u2019re setting up your Android 12 device, you\u2019ll be asked if you want to transfer your WhatsApp history.<\/li>\n<li>You can scan the QR code shown on the screen to start the transfer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><video class=\"gifsnomore size-featured_img wp-image-1371219 \" autoplay loop muted><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/10\/AND_WhatsApp_Switching_Announcement_Blog_Header_v3-796x449.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/how-to-transfer-whatsapp-chats-iphone-to-android#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fbasics%2F2021%2F10%2F27%2Fhow-to-transfer-whatsapp-chats-iphone-to-android%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: WhatsApp now supports iPhone to Android chat transfer\" data-title=\"Share WhatsApp now supports iPhone to Android chat transfer on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share WhatsApp now supports iPhone to Android chat transfer on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"><\/i><\/a>WhatsApp now supports iPhone to Android chat transfer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once the transfer is complete, all your conversations, media files, and voice messages will be available on the new device.<\/p>\n<p>Google recently released Android 12 to the public, but currently, only Pixel phones have had the update. If you\u2019re using a device from any other manufacturer you might have to wait for the update.
