WhatsApp has now released a new feature for iPhone users that they can now import their chat history from an Android phone. Earlier, the company has already announced the iPhone to Android WhatsApp chat migration feature for some Samsung and Pixel smartphones. But for new iPhone users, it was not possible to migrate chat unless they use a third-party tool or email the entire chat. So, here we will discuss how one can import WhatsApp chats from Android to iPhone.
