BERLIN: When switching from an Android device to an iPhone, users can now automatically transfer their entire WhatsApp chat history to their new device, thanks to an app update by Apple.

While you previously had to fall back on apps from third parties, Apple’s “Move to iOS” now also allows you to migrate your WhatsApp chats to an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch when first setting up the device.
