WhatsApp data can now be transferred when migrating from Android to iPhone.

The ability to transfer data is now available to anyone.

What everyone was waiting for. Data from your WhatsApp account, including messages, photos and videos, can now be transferred when you change from an Android operating system to an iPhone that uses iOS, according to EFE.

As reported by Apple, starting on Tuesday, June 14 a beta version will start rolling out making it possible to transfer all the information related to this popular instant messaging app. This is something that had been one of the most common requests from users.

So far Apple has not commented on when the final version of this option will be available to the general public, beyond those who access the trial version.

The way to transfer WhatsApp data will be the same as for the rest of the programs when a user goes from using an Android phone to one operating with iOS, and it will be the system itself that suggests data migration.

Apple ensured that the information is packaged securely so that not even the company itself can access it. They clarified that, despite the fact that most information will pass from one device to another, there will be exceptions with some sensitive data such as those related to payments.

When a user migrates their WhatsApp data from Android to iOS and activates their account on the iPhone, it will no longer be active on the old device. According to the latest data, WhatsApp (owned by Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram) has more than two billion users worldwide, which makes it the most used instant messaging application. In turn, it is estimated that around one billion people in the world use iPhone phones.
