How Do I Transfer WhatsApp Chats From Android to iPhone?

Transferring WhatsApp chats from Android to iPhone is a great way to keep all your conversations in one place, no matter what device you’re using. Whether you’ve just bought a new phone or are switching to a new operating system, transferring your WhatsApp chats can be done with relative ease.

The simplest way to transfer your conversations from an Android device to an iPhone is through Google Drive. WhatsApp allows users of both iOS and Android devices to back up their chat history and media to Google Drive.

Before you start the transfer process, make sure that both devices are signed into the same Google account. If you don’t already have one, create it now.

Once both devices are logged in with the same Google account, open WhatsApp on the Android device and go to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup. Tap ‘Back Up’ and wait for it to finish.

Now switch over to your iPhone and open the WhatsApp app. Verify your phone number, then when prompted select ‘Restore Chat History’. This will restore all of your previous conversations from the backed up version on Google Drive.

Note: If you have media such as photos or videos in your chats, they will not be transferred over unless they were previously backed up using Google Drive.

If you don’t want to use Google Drive or would prefer an alternative method, there are other ways of transferring WhatsApp chats from Android to iPhone as well.

One option is by connecting both phones together via USB cable and manually copying the files from one phone to another. You will need access to a computer for this method and should also be familiar with how file transfers work on your computer.

Note: This method is not recommended as it can be time consuming and difficult if you are not tech savvy.

Conclusion:


Transferring WhatsApp chats from an Android device to an iPhone is easy with the right tools. To do so quickly and easily without losing any data, use Google Drive as this allows users of both iOS and Android devices to back up their chat history and media in a few simple steps. Alternatively, if you don’t want to use Google Drive or would prefer an alternative method, it is possible to manually copy the files between devices using a USB cable but this can be time consuming and difficult if you are not tech savvy.
