hey this is paul with wondershare mobile trains and in today's video we're going over five ways
to transfer your whatsapp data from an android to an iphone whatsapp of course is a very popular
end-to-end encrypted messaging platform used by both android and ios users alike however at this
time whatsapp does not natively support directly transferring your chat content or history from an
android device to an apple device like an iphone or an ipad and for whatever reason whatsapp has
these limitations when changing your devices so if you plan on moving from an iphone to an android
or vice versa you might run into some problems but you won't have to worry we've rounded up the
best five ways to transfer your whatsapp data to your new iphone so stick around watch this video
through and you'll find a solution that fits your needs as always if you find these kind of videos
helpful and you want to learn more tips and tricks for transferring and backing up your data securely
be sure to subscribe to our channel and like this video for starters if you've heard that
whatsapp does not support transferring your data from an iphone to an android or vice versa
it's only partly true natively whatsapp does not support it within the app but again we've got
the five solutions here so stay tuned migrating whatsapp cross platform appears to be difficult
given the absence of an official method provided by apple or whatsapp directly fortunately you can
always rely on mobile trans mobile trends is our tool and it provides the best and easiest way for
transferring your data securely from one device to another and even if you're not that tech savvy
or familiar with whatsapp our tool makes it very easy and simple to get the process done so let's
show you how easy that transfer process for your whatsapp messages can be from an android phone
to your iphone first connect both your android and your iphone via usb to your computer or mac
open mobile trans and select whatsapp transfer you'll then select the source and destination
device and so if your old phone is the android that is going to be the source the destination is
going to be the new device in this case the iphone if you find that the devices are backwards just
click that flip button and i'll switch it around next click start and the transfer process will
begin after the data is copied over the transfer will be complete during the process make sure
both phones stay connected and on once it's done and you launch whatsapp on your new iphone it'll
recognize that there's a backup there you can restore from there and have all your old messages
and data the next option is to transfer your whatsapp from an android to an ios with a backup
this can be a very handy option if you're still using your android device and haven't received
your iphone yet you can backup your data and then restore it to your iphone at a later point
using our mobile trans tool again is an easy way to backup and restore your whatsapp data here's
how you can do so connect the current android device that you want to backup the data to via the
usb cable launch mobile trans and then pick backup and restore then select backup you'll then see the
option to backup whatsapp data click start and the process will begin and after a bit mobile trans
will complete the backup this backup will be saved to your computer and when you get your new iphone
you can just connect it to the same computer and back it up from there so let's show you how you
can do that connect your iphone to your computer using your lightning cable launch mobile trans
on your computer select backup and restore and then select restore from app backup and restore
you'll see your most recent whatsapp backup and then you can restore to your iphone now let's say
you don't have access to a computer or using one isn't the most convenient option for you
in that case we do have a solution that will work from phone to phone so you can transfer your data
directly from your old android device to your new iphone to do so download the app whatsapper
through the google play store on your android device whatsapper will allow you to transfer your
whatsapp data from an android to an iphone without the need of a computer all you have to do is use
the two phones and connect them with an otg or usbc to lightning cable then launch whatsapper on
your android device and you can begin the process after you connect both phones together with the
usb cable click trust on both devices and provide your phone number phone number you use needs to
match on both devices because it has to match with the existing whatsapp account that you're trying
to back up the data from and transfer it to the new device now you can begin the transfer process
whatsapper will parse the data from the android device and make sure it's compatible with your
new iphone device it does that all automatically so you don't have to worry about anything once the
parsing is complete you'll click start to transfer the data to your new device the next option can
work if you're in a pinch if you either don't have a computer you don't have a compatible usb cable
or you only have a few chats aside from that it can be a little bit tedious but we'll show you
how it's done while you can't directly migrate whatsapp from an android to an iphone without a
backup there is another option whatsapp allows you to email certain chat conversations to any contact
and in this case you can actually email a selected chat to yourself keep in mind though with this
restore process you are able to select some media files but with limitations of email usually being
limited to about 20 megabytes it might make certain media attachments unavailable for you
the other big limitation this is probably a deal breaker for a lot of people it is
only going to save the text itself but you can't actually restore it and view it on the new device
this is only for references so you can't actually access and continue the chat
as if it was still on the old device if that is the case and those are essential to save and have
on your new device we do recommend using one of the previous methods that we shared you can choose
whether you want to attach the media from your chats again there are limitations as we explain
so keep those in mind next a new compose email will pop up with a text file attached choose
whatever email address you want to send it to and then you'll be able to restore it from that
email later so keeping in mind the limitations of this method it's not the best for everyone
now if you're switching to a completely different whatsapp account with a new number and you want to
transfer your chats from the old account to the new one things do get a little bit interesting
but we'll show you how you can do that too so in case that you want to transfer your old whatsapp
data from an android device with its old number to a new iphone with a new number the steps do
get a little bit complicated but we'll show you how you can do that first thing you want to do
is follow one of the previous steps for backing up and transferring the data from the android device
to the iphone using the same number after that we can switch the number to do so just keep
in mind that you will still need access to the old phone number with your whatsapp data fully
accessible and working using the old account but on the new device we can move on remove the old
sim card or switch to your new e-sim on the new device now open whatsapp go to settings account
change number and then click next you'll enter your current number and your new number and
then hit continue you'll then be sent a code to validate the new number enter it on your device
and you're good to go and there you have it those are five ways to transfer your whatsapp account
data from an android device to an iphone depending on your needs or what kind of data you're actually
trying to transfer over as well as the amount of chats and the actual media files as well that
are associated with them one method might work a little bit better than the other our wondershare
tool is gonna of course be the most comprehensive and easiest to use and of course if you want to
always have the most secure and fastest backups from one device to another we also recommend that
