WhatsApp will let users transfer chat history between iPhone and Android, but there's a catch

WhatsApp has just made it easier to switch between an iPhone to Android without losing your chats. The new feature will start rolling out with the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 phones and should gradually be available to more Android devices.

If you're an iPhone user and have been thinking about switching to an Android device, but drop that idea because of WhatsApp, possibly the most important messaging app on your device, then cheer up because you are finally getting what you have wished for years. WhatsApp will soon let users transfer their chat history, including photos and voice memos, between iOS and Android. However, the big catch here is that it would be available starting with new Galaxy models, and WhatsApp hasn't said a word about whether the feature would work vice versa for Android and iPhone.
