One of the main drawbacks of WhatsApp is the inability to transfer data between Android and iOS platforms. You can transfer data from one Android/iOS device to another device but you cannot transfer data from an Android device to an iOS device and vice versa. Fortunately, WhatsApp is working on a feature that will allow transferring WhatsApp data between Android and iOS devices. However, we saw only a couple of images of this feature. We never got to see it in detail. Well, that changes today. A video has appeared online that shows the WhatsApp feature which will allow you to transfer data from Android to an iOS device.

Here’s how you can transfer WhatsApp data between Android and iOS devices

WABetaInfo has posted a video on Twitter showing the upcoming feature in WhatsApp which will allow you to transfer data between Android and iOS platforms. According to WABetaInfo, users will need to connect their Android and iOS devices via cables to a PC in order to transfer WhatsApp data between them. It is a bummer that you won’t be able to transfer data between Android and iOS platforms via the internet. Nonetheless, people will at least have an option to transfer the data securely without having to rely on third-party apps to do the job.

This also means that WhatsApp is working on PC companion software for Windows and Mac OS. However, there is no concrete information regarding it at the moment. Going by the video, it looks like the feature to transfer WhatsApp data between Android and iOS platforms is ready. However, we don’t have any information regarding its rollout date. WABetaInfo says that the new feature will be available to bets testers in a future update. We expect WhatsApp to roll out this feature by the end of this year. However, that is just our prediction.
