  • Google's latest advertising campaign, encapsulated by the tagline "It's all good with Google on Android," is aimed at persuading iPhone users to switch to Android by emphasizing the simplicity and worry-free nature of the process.
  • The campaign focuses on four areas: Privacy & Security, Emoji Reactions, Transfer Photos, and Device Compatibility, with each topic conveyed through short 15-second YouTube video ads.

There is no alternative for whatsapp, and transfering whatsapp chats somehow only works from android 12 (the device had android 11)

That's odd. Doesn't WhatsApp do backups to Google Drive any more?

Not on iOS and there is no way to load an icloud backup into the android app / google drive

Then the problem isn't android but apple being so closed and only allowing for iCloud to be used.

No, the Problem is that on both operating systems there is no export/import from file option. There should not be the need to rely on cloud services
