If you have bought an iPhone 12, iPhone 13, or iPhone 14, you can migrate your WhatsApp chat history from Android to iOS in a few simple steps. Switching from Android to iPhone can bring a lot of changes to the way you use your phone. You will also need to move your data from Android to iOS. If you are a WhatsApp user, you will have to migrate your chat history from your Android device to iOS or iPhone. As per the information provided by WhatsApp, you can transfer your account information, profile photo, individual chats, group chats, chat history, media, and settings from Android to iPhone.

"If you're moving from an Android phone to an iPhone, you can transfer your account information, profile photo, individual chats, group chats, chat history, media, and settings. You can't transfer your call history or display name," WhatsApp said.

Also, transferred data does not go to cloud storage as a result of the migration until you create an iCloud backup, the app informed. While your Android phone will still have your data unless you delete WhatsApp or wipe your phone. Here is how you can transfer WhatsApp details from Android to iPhone.
