If the permission is given, the software will then instruct the user to keep the WhatsApp open and the phone unlocked while it moved their chats.
However, there were no additional specifics or information regarding when the feature would be released.
Users may now migrate their WhatsApp conversations from iOS to Samsung smartphones, while WhatsApp and Google have added support for transferring chat history from iOS to Pixel phones.
WhatsApp released a beta version of the feature back in September last year that will allow users to move their chats to iOS from an older Android device.
The feature requires users to have a Lightning USB type-C cable to connect their Android phones with the new iPhone to move their chat history.
