It is now possible to Transfer WhatsApp chat data from iPhone to Android phone. In August, when Samsung introduced new foldable phones, WhatsApp announced the introduction of a service to transfer chat history from iOS devices to Android phones.
This feature is now officially available to users and can be used initially on Samsung phones running the Android 10 or 11 operating system.

According to WhatsApp, this tool will gradually be available to all phones working on Android and iOS.
