In practice, the import of the chat chronology is the success step of the procedure to be followed to transfer the data from the old to the new device via the Smart Switch app.The data remain on the old smartphone until they are deleted.The operation must be started before WhatsApp's activation on the new smartphone.Otherwise it will be necessary to delete WhatsApp from the Galaxy, activate the service on the iPhone and repeat the transfer.
