There has been a "Chat export" option for years. I even exported a chat of mine and ran it through some sentiment analysis for fun.
> shared / imported history between iOS and Android
Yeah this is perplexing. Android to android it works fine. The moment you throw Ios into the mix it gets complicated.
- scrollaway 5y agoMy understanding is that WhatsApp uses a different database between android and iOS and I guess they never figured out a good UX for converting between them. It’s shockingly ridiculous for something owned by Facebook.

You've to do it manually for every chat, and it lacks all media. From the context of preserving your chat history, it's just marginally better than having nothing.
