Title: Transfer WhatsApp Chat History
description: Recently, the popular instant messaging platform WhatsApp announced that it will introduce the ability to migrate chats from iOS to Android and vice versa.
This news pleased a huge number of people around the world.
We found out that WhatsApp introduced the chat history transfer feature to a wider range of Samsung smartphones, but with some limitations. With this feature, users can transfer chats - individual and group, photos, account information, media files and settings from iPhone to Samsung smartphone. However, the call log cannot be moved. The modern feature will soon be extended to other Android smartphones as well. As a reminder, Samsung users should have a USB Type-C to Lightning cable to perform chat history transfer. Cable transfer means your migrated data won't end up in the cloud storage and WhatsApp won't be able to access the data you've transferred. This is a good solution for those people who care about their safety.
