  Whatsapp Android To iOS Importer

Wait, don't use those closed source solutions to migrate WhatsApp from Android to ios, they seem so shady. And the many fake overhyped YouTube reviews for these apps put me off.

Whatsapp are releasing this feature soon [1], but there's also a method someone opensourced a solution that extracts from the android WhatsApp dB and writes to the iOS Android dB - requires a Mac however. [2]
