WhatsApp users while switching phones between operating systems often face trouble. As WhatsApp allows users to keep their account information including profile photo, name, about, individual chats, group chats, and settings when switching to a different operating system.
WhatsApp doesn’t allow for moving chat history which is very important to users.
When switching from iPhone to Android as there is no native option to transfer chat history within the app.
Users can export their entire chat history via mail and then restore it on their new device.
