Facebook owned platforms have introduced a new feature to allow iPhone users to migrate chats to Android phones, according to a blog post.

Before this, iOS chat histories were stored in iCloud, while Android histories went to Google Drive making it nearly impossible to transfer chats between the two operating systems. Users would be advised to instead email their chat histories to themselves.

The new feature encompasses voice messages, photos and videos but not call history or display name. A tweet by WhatsApp says, “this is available on any Samsung device running Android 10 or higher and will be available on more Android devices soon,” WhatsApp also announced that the update would be available across all devices soon.
