Transfer WhatsApp chat from Android to Apple. This is now possible with an app. Mark Zuckerberg introduced the service.
Menlo Park (California/USA) – Now the movement will be easier, that is, the digital one!
The head of Facebook, and therefore also of WhatsAppMark Zuckerberg (38), talked about one of the most requested features when he recently shared how the Messenger app now makes it easy to move chat messages from Android to Apple-Devices allowed.
Consequently, it is now possible with Apple’s own app “Transfer to iOS” for Android phones also transfer WhatsApp chats to new devices.
To make this possible, the metadevelopers worked together with the technology manufacturers.
However, everything only works if you set up a new iPhone or have completely reset it to factory settings and still have access to the Android device.
Both cell phones, that is, the old one with Android operating system and the new one with iOS, must have certain software standards. Currently, the above device must be running Android version 5 and the iPhone requires iOS 15.5 or later.
When setting up the new iPhone, users choose to import data from another device. Both smartphones need a WiFi connection.
The chats would remain encrypted so that no one could access the data, Zuckerberg announced in a statement. post on facebook in.
Practical: When moving, not only text messages are copied. WhatsApp images, videos and voice messages are also taken into account.
And there is more: “Transfer to iOS” application can also be used to move contacts in phone book, Google account, all photos (!) and calendar entries saved on the cell phone.
By the way, moving in the opposite direction, that is, from an iPhone to an Android phone from Samsung, Huawei and company, has been very easy since last year. A similar app also makes it possible and also takes WhatsApp into account.
