The WhatsApp wave of updates continues. After going live with disappearing media, the social platform announced that it’s allowing iOS users to bring their data to Android, if they are planning to use either one of two Android smartphones.
Some new Android users will discover they can actually transfer their WhatsApp history and media from iOS, starting today. The social platform owned by Facebook is allowing Samsung owners to preserve their WhatsApp data if they decide to jump ship from iOS.
