JAKARTA - Meta has added new capabilities to WhatsApp to easily transfer chat history including photos, videos or voice messages from Android to iPhone.

This news was delivered directly by the owner of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook. "to switch between phones securely and transfer chat history, photos, videos, and voice messages between Android and iPhone while maintaining end-to-end encryption," he wrote on Tuesday, June 14.

According to Zuckerberg, this is the top feature most requested by WhatsApp users. Because, this update can solve the long-standing problem of WhatsApp, namely that it has historically been difficult to transfer chats between two mobile operating systems.

The transfer process only works on a new iPhone or factory reset and using Apple's Move to iOS app for Android (which already helps move contacts, calendar entries, SMS messages, and more).

"We rolled out the ability to switch from iPhone > Android last year, and are now adding Android > iPhone as well."

During iPhone setup, select the "Move data from Android" option, then follow the steps in the Android app. Once the iPhone is fully set up, open WhatsApp and sign in using the same phone number. Your pre-existing Android chat history will appear.
