The inability to transfer chat history between platforms is one of the main inconveniences noted by WhatsApp users. Now transferring data from WhatsApp is possible only if two smartphones work on the basis of the same operating system, due to the fact that iOS uses iCloud for storage, and Android uses Google Drive.

The launch of the function of transferring WhatsApp chats between iOS and Android became known from one of the latest beta versions of the messenger. A special window has appeared there, where it is directly stated about the possibility of transferring correspondence. Apparently, this opportunity will be used by the Google Data Transfer Tool. The new transfer tool could be part of a new iOS Switch to Android app that Google is developing.

You can download Whatsapp messenger from SoftGoza.

In addition to transferring chat history between platforms, WABetaInfo also reports that WhatsApp is developing a way to transfer chat history between different phone numbers. It is currently unknown when all of these features will become available.

Earlier, the developers of WhatsApp announced plans to add the ability to the messenger to simultaneously work on several devices at once, for this they had to rethink the architecture of the service to preserve the protection of user privacy using end-to-end encryption.

Here is guide that you can use to FREE transfer Whatsapp from Android to iPhone.
