The blog post also mentions that if the iPhone has trouble scanning the QR code, users would need to open WhatsApp and head to Settings Chats Move Chats to Android. Google also said that the user would not receive any new messages while the chats are being transferred.

As mentioned, the WhatsApp chat transfer functionality was already available for Samsung Galaxy smartphones and is now being extended to the Google Pixel lineup. Google also mentions that this feature will become available for all smartphones that will be launched with Android 12.
