considered a way for individuals to communicate with one another but then once they announced
that they were getting into the e-commerce game they shook up the industry whatsapp says
that they're just creating a free space for small scale businesses to grow the idea behind whatsapp
business is to connect the businesses with their customers and manage their online orders and this
has been a really important tool especially for smaller businesses which don't usually have access
to more expensive tools and resources like the big guys do and as of now there are already over
three million business accounts out there all being used free of charge and so whether you're
looking to start or grow your own business using a whatsapp business account is a great way to do
so and so the big question is can anyone convert their regular whatsapp account into a business one
yes and it's easy we'll show you a couple of the main methods if you're looking to stick with the
same device that you already own and use whether that's an android or an iphone you'll be using
the native whatsapp business app if on the other hand you're looking to migrate from an iphone to
an android or vice versa we'll show you an easy hassle-free way to transfer that data
the first thing we're gonna do and we always recommend doing this before starting any process
is to back up your data just to make sure nothing gets lost in the process backups are a crucial way
to keep your chat history saved to do so navigate to settings chats chat backup and click backup
backup now if you don't want to deal with saving your data to icloud or google drive storage
you can use our wondershare mobile trans app which also gives you advanced syncing settings and the
other big advantage of using our app is that you can save multiple different versions to access
them later and they're right on your computer so now that we've got our saved backups we can
move on now we're going to download the whatsapp business app you can either get it from the apple
app store or from google play store you'll see a couple terms and conditions you can read through
that agree and then continue during the step as well this is where they're going to ask you to put
in your business phone number you can either use your personal account if you're using one already
or you can change to a new number during this next step whatsapp is going to begin migrating
your data from your previous account over to the new business one you'll need to keep your phone
on and wait for that to complete again you have the option to restore the data from the previous
account so if you have other media chats and other things that you want migrated to the new account
you'll be doing so in this step and after that completes you'll be putting in the information
for your whatsapp business account you'll select the category name and a profile image you can also
then add additional information under settings or you can then put your business's name and fill out
the other blanks as necessary and it's really that easy only takes a few simple steps to set up a new
whatsapp business account that said if you already have an established personal whatsapp account that
you're using and you want to ensure that all that data is transferred over or you only want certain
parts of that data transferred over you can use our advanced wondershare mobile trans app so let's
say you are planning on transferring devices or moving between operating systems i'll show
you how you can use our app to get that done even if you're a beginner we've made sure that our app
is very easy to use and only requires a few clicks to get everything done and you don't need to worry
about icloud or google drive again first let me take you through that backup process connect your
phone to the computer then launch mobile trans and it will detect your phone automatically and
then select whatsapp to backup select the files that you want and then begin the backup during
this step you can choose to backup everything or only select types of data depending on the kind
of phone or operating system that you're using a couple pop-ups might appear on the device itself
so make sure you read that carefully it might ask you to continue or trust the computer in order to
proceed with the backup now that wondershare mobile trans has completed the backup we can
go ahead and restore it to a new device connect both the old phone that you're transferring the
data from as well as the new device that you want the data transferred to open mobile trans navigate
to phone transfer and select phone to phone and if you notice that the source and destination device
are backwards just hit that flip button you can select the types of data that you want to transfer
and then hit continue you'll then see a progress bar with the data transfer process so there you
have it we've shared not only how you can create a new whatsapp business account but how you can also
backup and restore its data too whatsapp natively can be a good solution if you're transferring or
backing up data from an existing device to the same kind of operating system but again if you
