WhatsApp will be able to transfer data between Android and iOS

Despite that WhatsApp the most used chat application, so it still lacks some common features that we find in competing applications. This is one of the missing and long required features according to the portal GSMArena now it has finally become a reality in application.

Samsung’s new smartphones will initially be exclusive to the new feature

The feature was announced during the event Samsung Unpacked, where the South Korean giant introduced flexible smartphones Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3. It is this pair of smartphones that will be able to use it first. In addition, thanks to the cooperation between Samsung and Facebook, the function will first come to the brand’s smartphones and then to competing models, including iPhones.

The transfer of user data between platforms can only be done by cable

And what should be the new and long-awaited feature of WhatsApp? Finally, you will be able to transfer user data stored in the iOS application to your Android device and vice versa. They will only be transferred if both iOS and Android devices are physically connected with a USB-C and Lightning cable. This is a common part of iPhone packaging.

Unfortunately, it will still not be possible to transmit user data wirelessly. If you have more than one cloud backup of your chat, picture, and voicemail history, the backups will not be merged. After performing a new backup, the transferred data will overwrite the existing backup of user data.
