So far, transferring WhatsApp chat history from iOS to Android is impossible. But now we can easily do it, and the special thing is that this ability can only be done on the newly released Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Filp3 on the market.
This is thanks to the Smart Switch feature that Samsung has embedded in its latest foldable smartphone. Smart Switch also allows users to transfer other important data such as contacts, notes, photos, videos, to bookmarks in the browser application when switching smartphones from iOS, Windows, or fellow Android-based devices to the Samsung Galaxy.
Of course, this is a useful solution for wanting to follow the trend of folding smartphones, but still worried about not being able to move data on old devices. This convenience is even more complete because Smart Switch can be obtained for free.
Samsung has equipped the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 with a Smart Switch application that allows users to conveniently transfer data from their old smartphone-including WhatsApp data-be it from Android, iOS, or Windows devices. This flexibility makes the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 a complete smartphone to become a new daily driver for consumers.
