Upgrading your device from android to an iPhone is like a complete change of ecosystem as iOS is totally different from that of Android. Moreover, one of the most common queries of the new iOS users is how to transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone.
WhatsApp is mainly used for instant messaging and is far better than any other texting app, which is why it has over 1 billion active users. You might be thinking that WhatsApp supports Google drive backup, and that can make it possible to restore the data on iPhone, but sadly, that’s not possible as of now.
The iOS version of WhatsApp does not support google drive backup, which is why it is very difficult to transfer WhatsApp data from android to iPhone through this method.
But not to worry, as we will be sharing a super simple way to transfer WhatsApp from Android to iOS in this article. Make sure you are hooked till the end and read the steps properly.
So with that being said, let’s move forward to our guide.
2 Ways to Transfer Whatsapp from android to ios
Method 1: Transfer Via Mail (Complicated)
This is a free but complicated method of transferring WhatsApp chats from android to ios. In this method, you will be using your email and manually send each and every chat on your mail. Let us further dig into this solution.
- Launch WhatsApp on your android device
- Hop on to settings, chat settings > chat history and click on Export chat.
- The next step is to select the chat which you want to export, you will see all the recent chats in the next step, select any of them, and choose whether you want to include the media files or not.
- Now the share screen will pop up, select Gmail, or any other option such as telegram.
- Once done, you can open the chat on any other device, where you have sent the exported chats.
- You will have to do this manually for each conversation, and this is very time-consuming in my opinion.
I am sure no one would like to use the first method as it is way too time consuming and won’t even let you save the chats directly in the WhatsApp app. But it is still good if you just want to transfer a couple of important chats and have no issues if the other data including media, documents, and chats are not transferred.
Not to worry as in the next section of the article, we will be using software to transfer the WhatsApp data from android to iOS.
