The submitted context
Moving WhatsApp history from Android to an already configured iPhone still depends on a setup-time migration workflow. Apple's current Move to iOS instructions include WhatsApp messages and media, but say that an iPhone whose setup is already complete must be erased and set up again; otherwise content must be moved manually. Two community posts describe people avoiding the reset, keeping an old Android phone active, or considering unofficial tools despite the sensitivity of their chats. Please add an official encrypted in-app transfer from Android to iPhone that works after the iPhone is configured, with a preflight summary, duplicate/conflict handling, integrity verification, and rollback if migration fails.
