What’s up guys, welcome back to the Tenorshare channel.
If you have backed up your WhatsApp chats on your Android phone,
either to the local disk or to your Google drive,
you might be wondering:
How do I get it to my iPhone?
In this tutorial, I’m going to show you 2 simple methods.
Let’s dive in!
We’ll start with the move to iOS app.
If what you want to transfer is not the current chats, but the old backup,
but the old backup,
you’ll need to uninstall your WhatsApp first,
don’t keep the existing data,
then re-install WhatsApp,
and restore your chats from the backup.
If you prefer not to uninstall your WhatsApp,
skip ahead to the next method where we show you how to do it using iCareFone Transfer.
So once you have done that, install Move to iOS app from play store.
To ensure a stable transfer, let’s plug both devices into power.
Launch move to iOS,
follow the instructions until we get to the Enter One-Time Code screen,
To get this Code from the iPhone, we’ll need to restore it to factory settings.
If you prefer to keep your data, move on to iCareFone Transfer in the next part.
So in the iPhone settings, tap general,
Tap Transfer or reset iPhone,
Then go on to erase all content and settings.
Well done, let’s go ahead and set it up.
Here we make sure to connect the iPhone to the same network as the Android.
On the Apps & Data screen, we select Move Data from Android,
Tap continue, we’ll see the One-time code required by the Move to iOS App.
Go ahead and enter it.
Tap connect.
Select WhatsApp from the list.
Tap start to move chats to iOS.
Here we go.
Let’s go ahead and complete the setup.
Now we are going to install WhatsApp from the App Store.
Log into your WhatsApp account.
Tap start to move chats from Android.
Allow permission to your photos when prompted.
Once set up your profile, all your chats should be showing up right away.
As we mentioned earlier in this video,
if you prefer not to erase your iPhone for the transfer,
we do have an alternative for you to preserve your data,
which is to use iCareFone Transfer on a computer.
So once open it, navigate to the WhatsApp tab,
Plug both devices in.
Make sure the transfer direction is set as Android to iPhone.
Click transfer to begin.
As you can see,
only the existing WhatsApp chats on your iPhone will be overwritten,
So rest assured.
If you are transferring your current chats, create a backup for it to proceed.
If you are transferring your old backup, select it from your backup history,
then click continue.
This way you don’t have to reinstall your WhatsApp.
Verify your WhatsApp account with the encryption key or phone number.
Here you can customize the data types you want to bring to your iPhone,
I’m just selecting them all to proceed.
Now let's log into WhatsApp on the iPhone.
There’s not data migrated yet.
That’s fine, let’s head back to iCareFone and click logged in to complete the last step.
The iPhone will restart.
Well done, let’s go ahead and check it out!
See, all you WhatsApp chats have been migrated to the iPhone.
And all the other files stay where they were.
If you back up your WhatsApp to google drive instead of local disk,
you can complete the transfer even without using your Android.
Just connect your iPhone,
Click the Backup tab in the side bar.
Select from google drive.
Then click Back Up now to proceed.
Sign in with your google account.
iCareFone will detect your backup files and list them here.
Select one, and then hit continue.
It’ll be creating a local backup from your google drive backup.
Verify your phone number with encryption key or phone number.
Well done,
let’s go ahead and restore it to the iPhone.
OK, now we are going to log in to WhatsApp on the iPhone.
Once completed, click logged in to continue.
Well done, let’s go ahead and check it out!
See, the WhatsApp chats have been restored perfectly to the iPhone.
And all your other data stays intact.
So that’s it.
