First spotted by 9to5Google the application comes with version 1.0.382048734 referring to copy WhatsApp Chats and history from iOS to Android device in its code.

Note that Google’s Data Restore Tool will only work until the WhatsApp new chat migration feature is implemented. It is most likely to happen via a “Switch to Android” app that Google may release soon to the iOS App Store. As of now, there is no tool to switch from iOS to Android however Apple offers an app called Move to iOS on Google Play Store to allow migration from Android to iPhone.

Adding more to this WABetaInfo also shared the development by sharing some screenshots that show the process of WhatsApp chat migration. On the other hand, a tipster has also shared a few screenshots that detail the process of the new Data Restore Tool app and hint at the upcoming Switch to Android app on Apple’s App Store.
