In the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.21.20.11 update, we have already spotted the ability to move your chat history from Android to iOS, available in a future update, but there was no news on iOS. Today, the new WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.2.74 offers more important details: the ability to import your chat history from Android!
As you can see in this screenshot, WhatsApp will ask for your permission to import the chat history before starting the process.
Note that, in the same article mentioned above (the 2.21.20.11 Android beta update), we explained that the Move to iOS app will be needed to migrate your chat history. Further details will be available when the feature is enabled in a future update.
Unfortunately, this feature is not available right now, and supported operating systems are unknown. We don’t have details about the release of the feature, but we’re following the development and we will inform you when there is news.
