Earlier this year, we saw WhatsApp tipster WABetaInfo discover a feature that will let WhatsApp users transfer their chats between iOS and Android. Following the report, WhatsApp rolled out the inter-platform data transfer feature in August. However, it was only available for Samsung devices running Android 10 or higher at the time. But now, Google has today announced that the feature is now available for Pixel phones and other devices running Android 12.
“Our team has worked hand-in-hand with WhatsApp to ensure your data remains protected throughout the transfer process, so no one else can ever access your WhatsApp information and files,” wrote the Product Manager at Google, Paul Dunlop.
Furthermore, Google confirmed that although the WhatsApp data transfer feature is currently available for Samsung and Pixel devices, it will become available for all Android devices that will launch with Android 12. However, OEMs need to enable the feature on their devices to make it work.
