whatsapp on android it's also a great and easy way to backup your chats directly within the app that
said when it comes to switching from your android to your iphone the encryption protocols between
google drive and icloud are different and so you won't be able to directly use the backups from one
device to the other so what are your options because of the incompatibilities between your
icloud and your google drive backups we'll need to use a third-party tool to begin with if it's
not all ready we're going to reinstall whatsapp on our android phone and then we're going to perform
a backup to google drive after doing so we can continue with the transfer process but let's first

phone through google drive google drive is one of the easiest and safest ways to backup large
amounts of data to the cloud with ease in fact i have over 18 terabytes on my personal account
one of the main benefits of being able to back up your whatsapp chats as well as other account data
to the cloud is that you can access it remotely from anywhere they're free storage here which
anyone can sign up for comes with 15 gigabytes of data which should be enough for most users
especially again if you're just backing up casual data whether those are your chats a few songs a
few videos nothing too big be sure to use the same phone number and google drive account when doing
this backup and restore process because we need to have that same login information when we switch
over to iphone we're going to reinstall whatsapp on the android phone in order to bring up a fresh
backup from google drive to the android device we'll then launch whatsapp on the android phone
and tap the three dot menu on the right corner tap settings and then select chats go to chat backup
select backup to google drive you may then be prompted by google drive to accept some settings
tap the allow option when it pops up in order to continue if we're planning on switching to the
iphone we only really need the chat backed up once but you need to make sure you at least select that
backup once when i click backup option we'll now see the green backup button to back up our chats
immediately and now that we've taken you through the steps for backing up your whatsapp chat data
from your android phone to google drive we'll now be showing you how you can use a third-party tool
