In a tweet, the company said, subscribers can move their chat history from iOS to Samsung phones— meaning when users change phones, they will not lose data including voice notes, photos and conversations.

“The feature will soon be available across all devices”, WhatsApp added.

New feature will help users to switch phones without losing their WhatsApp data, even when the operating systems are different.

Earlier, WhatsApp revealed the news at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked 2021 event held August 11.
