After several rumors, Whatsapp has finally announced the implementation of the feature that will allow iPhone users to migrate their data from Android to iOS.
You use the switch to iOS function and it will only be offered during the setup phase of an iPhone in addition to all the other data migration functions from Android.
The function will initially be available only to participants in the Whatsapp beta program and will then be extended to everyone in the coming weeks.
The data transfer does not take place via the cloud but through a direct Wifi connection, which is more secure.
The news was announced by Mark Zuckerberg in a post on Facebook: "This is one of the most requested features - he wrote - last year we launched this possibility from iPhone to Android, now we have also added support from Android to iPhone" .
In order to use this function you will need to have iOS 15.5 or later versions installed.
