WhatsApp will allow transferring your chat history from your iPhone to Android
WhatsApp finally makes it possible to transfer your WhatsApp chat history from your iPhone to an Android phone. According to the information, the iOS-Android migration tool coming to WhatsApp in April, but there were no confirmations from the Facebook-owned company until yesterday. But now it’s officially introduced, that this feature exists and will come first in new Samsung’s brand new foldable devices.
During the Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung revealed that users who will switch from iOS to Android will be able to bring their WhatsApp data, including conversations to the media, to the Galaxy smartphone.
Samsung showed this via iPhone transferring WhatsApp data to Galaxy phone via USB cable.
“For the first time on any Android smartphone, you can securely transfer your WhatsApp experience — including your conversations and photos — from your old iPhone to your new Galaxy smartphone.”
WhatsApp soon confirmed that this new migration tool will allow data transfer from iOS to Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3. There will also be other Samsung devices running Android 10 and higher “in the coming weeks.” However, WhatsApp did not disclose when the feature will arrive on other Android phones.
How to transfer/move your WhatsApp data from iPhone to Galaxy smartphone?
To transfer your WhatsApp data from your iPhone to a Galaxy phone, you’ll need a Lightning to USB-C cable. Note that if you have two different WhatsApp backups (one in Google Drive and one in iCloud), the new transfer tool will not integrate them. Instead, what happens when you transfer your WhatsApp data to an Android phone and restore it, a new backup will override your old Android backup.
While users don’t know when WhatsApp plans to release the “Move chat to Android” feature for non-Galaxy phones, it may come next to Google’s new “Switch to Android” app for iOS.

WhatsApp for Android is rolling out a new beta update, which enhances user interaction with status updates by developing a new reaction notification feature. Users can identify the new beta update through version 2.24.9.29 on Android devices.
Previously, WhatsApp had been working on a quick reaction feature. The latest beta version goes a step further by providing an option to turn off notifications for ‘Like reactions.’ This means users can choose not to be notified every time someone reacts to their status, which could be particularly useful for those who receive many reactions.
This feature is beneficial as it allows users to reduce disruptions by preventing their notification panel from being cluttered with WhatsApp reaction notifications. But for those who prefer to view reactions at their convenience, this update will allow them to do so without the constant alerts.
Moreover, WhatsApp aims to enhance users’ control over their notifications and let them decide how they want to engage with status updates. This update is still under development, so stay tuned more details will be shared as they become available.

WhatsApp has introduced a new feature called Chat Filters to enhance the user experience. This feature simplifies the process of navigating through messages, making it quick and effortless. With the increasing volume of messages on WhatsApp, the ability to quickly access them is important.
The Chat Filters feature of WhatsApp helps users organize their chats better and focus on the most pressing conversations. The rollout of these filters has begun and will be available to all users in the upcoming weeks.
By tapping on these filters at the top of the chat list, users can sort their messages with ease. It offers three convenient options:
All: This filter shows every message or we can say a default view of all
Unread: This filter highlights conversations that require attention, displaying both marked unread and new messages.
Groups: It contains all group conversations, including Community subgroups, in one place. This filter is much-anticipated addition for organizing all group chats.

WhatsApp is enhancing user engagement with a new feature that prompts users to invite their contacts to join the messaging platform. This feature appears as a banner at the top of the chat list and is part of a targeted campaign to increase the app’s user base.
It is currently available to a select group of users who have installed the latest WhatsApp updates on iOS and Android devices. The banner aims to remind users to encourage their friends and family to use WhatsApp.
This approach is especially useful in countries where WhatsApp users are less, as it serves as a visible and convenient prompt for users to invite more people to the platform. By highlighting the advantages of new features and a unified chat experience, WhatsApp is looking to attract more users and maintain its position as a leading messaging service.
The feature is expected to be rolled out more widely in the coming weeks. This new move indicates that WhatsApp wants to keep users informed and connected, using the visibility of in-app notifications.
