WhatsApp is working on users transfer their chat history when migrating to a new phone that is using a different phone number. The new development seems to be an extension of the ability to transfer WhatsApp chat history from one platform to another — from Android to iOS and vice versa — through a Chat History Migration tool, which is currently said to be in testing phase.
WhatsApp is testing an updated Chat History Migration tool that would allow users to transfer their chat history to not just a new device on a different platform but also when the new device has a different phone number. So, for instance, if you are changing your phone number alongside switching from an existing Android phone to a new iPhone, you will be able to transfer your existing WhatsApp chat history to the new device.
WhatsApp currently allows users to change their phone number without losing any chats. It also lets you transfer your chat history if you are switching to a new device and phone number. But in this particular case, the new device should be based on the same platform as your old phone. This means that you will be able to transfer your chat history if you are switching between two iPhone models or two Android phones.
