When switching from an Android phone to an iPhone, it might be challenging to transfer your papers, images, and other data. Your WhatsApp chat history is among the most crucial data you should transfer.
For a very long time, moving WhatsApp data between Android and iPhone was nearly impossible. However, utilising the Move to iOS app, WhatsApp has now made it feasible to transfer your conversations and media from Android to iPhone. To transfer your chats from your Android phone to your iPhone, follow these steps.
Needed items before transferring
There are a few conditions you must satisfy before you may migrate your WhatsApp data from Android to iOS. What you'll need is as follows:
a mobile phone or tablet running Android 5 (Lollipop) or above
iOS 15.5 or later on an iPhone
Using WhatsApp on your iPhone with version 2.22.10.70 or later
Use WhatsApp on your Android device at version 2.22.7.74 or above.
Your iPhone and Android device must be connected to a power source.
You need to connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network, or use your iPhone as a hotspot to connect your Android.
Once you've satisfied all the conditions, you'll need to perform a factory reset on your iPhone and download the Move to iOS app for free on your Android device.
Data Transfer From Android to iPhone for WhatsApp
On your Android phone's Transfer Data screen, select WhatsApp.
To have WhatsApp scan and get ready to transfer your data, tap Start.
Return to the Move to iOS app as directed, then wait for the data transfer to be finished.
Install the most recent version of WhatsApp from the App Store on your iPhone after the transfer is finished.
Activate WhatsApp on your iPhone and sign in with the same phone number that was associated with your Android device.
When your iPhone prompts you to begin, tap Start and wait for the transfer procedure to complete.
You may now access WhatsApp on your iPhone to view your chat history and other information. You can now configure your iPhone as normal.
What isn't Included in the WhatsApp Transfer?
Your Google Drive backup won't be available because you transferred your WhatsApp data from Android to iPhone. To continue securing your communications, you'll need to create another iCloud backup of your WhatsApp data.
During this transfer procedure, you can transfer all of your conversations, media, and documents. Peer-to-peer payment messages, call logs, and display names cannot be migrated during this process.
There are further methods to recover deleted images from WhatsApp if some of your photos are not visible. Additionally, you might need to re-log in to WhatsApp Web.
Use iPhone to Access Your WhatsApp Chats
WhatsApp is used on a regular basis by a huge variety of users, all of all ages and demographics. And the majority of them would be concerned about data loss if they switched from an Android handset to an iPhone. They won't have to fret nearly as much about data loss now that WhatsApp migration from Android to iOS is possible.
Although it now has the ability to share files, WhatsApp still falls short of other well-known messaging apps like Telegram in terms of functionalities.
