What’s up guys, welcome back to the Tenorshare channel.
Are you switching from iPhone to Android?
If so, you might be wondering:
How do I transfer my WhatsApp chats?
In this video, I’m going to walk you through 2 methods.
Let’s dive in!
In the first part here,
we’ll be using the official free method in the WhatsApp FAQ.
So let’s connect each device with an USB-C to lightning cable.
Then I’m going to reset my Android to factory default.
If you prefer to keep your data,
move on to our next method iCareFone Transfer.
So we go to General management in Settings,
Tap Reset.
Select Factory data reset.
Then go ahead and deleted all your data.
Wait for the process to complete.
Well done, now we tap settings in WhatsApp.
Go to Chats.
Tap Move Chats to Android.
Then Tap Start to prepare your WhatsApp data for transfer.
OK, now let’s continue to set up the Android.
Tap Next to copy your Apps and Data.
Update or install Smart Switch when prompted.
Agree to the Terms and Conditions.
Select iPhone iPad as the Source.
Allow Smart Switch to access your iPhone.
Tap Trust when prompted.
Tap Next to proceed.
Now we got a list of data we can bring to the Android.
Make sure you have checked Apps from the list.
Then go ahead and tap Transfer to proceed.
Sign in your google account when prompted.
For some reason, WhatsApp didn’t show up in the selected apps list here.
Are you having the same issue as well?
Anyway, let’s complete the transfer first.
We can install WhatsApp later when we got to the home screen.
OK, now let’s go to Play Store and reinstall WhatsApp.
Verify your phone number.
Set up your profile.
And here we go.
Well, looks like it didn’t work.
I know a lot of you might have got the same result as me,
but don’t worry, in the second part here,
I’d like to show you how to do it using iCareFone Transfer,
you don’t have to reset your Android phone for this one.
So once install it from Play Store,
Connect each device with an USB-C to lightning cable.
Open it up,
Tap Transfer WhatsApp Data,
Select iOS to Android,
Allow it access to your iPhone.
And tap trust when prompted.
Once connected successfully, tap start transfer to proceed.
I don’t have a backup password on my iPhone, so I go with a No.
And here we go.
The transfer has begun.
How long it takes depends on your data size.
Here we select the data we want, tap next to continue.
Allow iCareFone to access your media folder if prompted.
Verify your phone number.
WhatsApp account will be logged out from your iPhone.
Follow the instructions here to uninstall WhatsApp from your Android.
Leave the keep app data option unchecked.
Now get back to iCareFone and tap Start to restore.
Follow the picture guide to install WhatsApp from play store.
Go ahead and verify your phone number.
Allow WhatsApp permission to your contacts and media when prompted.
When a backup is found, tap restore to proceed.
Well done, now let’s set up our profile.
Select a backup frequency if prompted.
And then, here we go.
As you can see, my WhatsApp chats have been transferred perfectly.
And it did spare me from erasing my Android.
All may other data stays where they are.
So that’s it.
