For this Samsung phone should be new. If the phone is not new, users will have to do a factory reset on the Samsung phone to start the chat transfer feature. The most important thing is that Samsung users will need a USB Type-C to Lightning cable for this transfer. Cable transfer also means that the migrated data does not go to the cloud storage and WhatsApp cannot see the data you have transferred.
