WhatsApp is not only one of the most popular chat apps out there, it is also one of the fastest growing. It's long been known that WhatsApp's beta program has given us a tantalizing glimpse of the future, revealing some of what's to come, and that's again the case with the latest preview of the chat app's iOS version. WhatsApp.
The latest preview shows that WhatsApp will make life a little easier for anyone switching from an Android phone to an iPhone. We've already seen chat migration enabled for people leaving iOS, but now the focus is on users moving in the opposite direction.
In WhatsApp for iOS 22.2.74 beta, we have a preview of what the migration process from chat to iOS will look like. We've already seen evidence of this in the beta version of the Android app, but now we know a bit more about how things are going on the iPhone side.
It appears that the migration process will not be handled entirely by the main WhatsApp application, but will instead require the use of a Switch to iOS app too. Screenshots of the latest beta version of the iOS app give us a clear indication of what the app looks like. Import chat history To treat.
excuse me, please
As expected, you need to allow WhatsApp to access your chat history to start the migration process. Interestingly, and perhaps a bit unsettlingly, it seems that the chat history import offer is a one-time offer. An on-screen message informs users that "You will not be able to import later if you skip this step."
At this time, we have no further information on when WhatsApp plans to start rolling out this feature to everyone. We also don't know which versions of iOS and Android will be supported, but more details will no doubt emerge in the coming weeks and months.
