"Move to iOS" app now moves WhatsApp chats from Android to iOS

We've had posts in the past from people asking about moving WhatsApp from Android to iOS and apart from dodgy companies claiming to be able to transfer chats, it's not been possible.

According to a new video from Apple, the "Move to iOS" app now does that.

This is good news, right?

I'm considering the move to iPhone from my Pixel 5 later in the year and I think it may have been a deal breaker had I not been able to do this. I read that going from iPhone to Android with whatsapp chats still isn't available (other than for Samsung devices I think) which is incredibly annoying!

It really doesn't make sense to me that this isn't just something that's handled by WhatsApp itself. It should be straightforward enough to go from one platform to another without losing anything.
