WhatsApp is one of the leading instant messaging platforms and the company has added new features to ensure the app remains a leader. Although it is available for multiple platforms, one of the issues for WhatsApp users is that it does not allow users to transfer chat history from iPhone to Android or vice versa.

Initially, the feature was available for Samsung phones and it is now available for all phones running the Android 12 operating system. Currently only Pixel phones have stable Android 12, but many other smartphone makers have rolled out the version. beta of their own custom operating system based on the latest Android.

Step 4: Now when you set up your Android smartphone, you will be asked if you want to transfer WhatsApp history.

Step 5: To start the transfer process, scan the QR code displayed on the screen and the WhatsApp chat history will be transferred.
