How to transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone with 'Move to iOS'?

[@anibum30]

is it possible to transfer whatsapp chat from android to iphone without factory reset the iphone?

[@felivelsa]

No, the iPhone needs to be on initial setup

[@lizhangyip]

Thanks for the video! It really helped me when I was moving from my OnePlus Phone to my iPhone. Cheers from Malaysia!

[@haniszulkefli7650]

Hi, I have completed half of the transferring process. Now I'm stuck at stage, when I open whatsapp in IPhone, no pop-up message/window come out "move chats from Andriod". Appreciate your advise on this matter.

[@chhandanachakravarthy9533]

Same!

[@hannahgoldschmidt1400]

What is the app called on iPhone? There is no IOS app there. Will it just come up when I try to transfer it from my android?

[@asadha_tan]

why whatsapp menu can't appear on my list move to ios? ( i've been using whatsapp beta) ?

[@oluwatosinayanbadejo55]

Please What app was used on the iPhone

[@q8sahara]

Let me explain my issue which I wish someone can help me solve it. My issue is at 3:42, when I am at the place on my new iPhone where I have to put a code, it tells me to go back to my old phone whatsapp to get the code, which I understood is that that is the way to transfer whataspp from old phone to new phone, not to transfer data, and I don't want that code. so I ask for an sms instead, when I do, I just don't receive one.

It shows "something went wrong" at 40%. Tried twice but still persist. Have to wait for a few hours now to get log into my whatsapp account to try again. Anyone have any fix for this? Edit: I finally got it working on my third attempt. Not sure if it has anything to do with the error but I re-did the whole process on the 2.4ghz wifi band. The previous two errors happened on the 5ghz band. So to those who are trying to get this process done, if your wifi has two bands, use the 2.4ghz one on both your android and iphone for the whole process. Reducing the amount of chats also help I think. So be ready to let go some of the chats you have. All of these worked for me BUT I am *NOT SURE* if this is the definitive fix.

[@faizm.3292]

i tried twice but didn't worked does the sim should be included in iphone before settnh up ??

[@YU_ZU98]

@@faizm.3292 not sure but I kept my sim on my android for the whole process and it worked fine. I transferred my sim after whatsapp on iphone is done importing my chats from android. Not really sure what’s the definitive fix here but maybe try like what I did?

[@nickho7584]

I'm having the same problem now, so did you reboot your iPhone and did the entire process again from start to finish?

[@YU_ZU98]

@@nickho7584 factory reset the entire iPhone fresh and yeap just re do the whole process while being connected to the 2.4ghz wifi band. This worked for me, no guarantee it'll work for you. Let me know how it goes though.

[@zikrisaharuddin8788]

I have done exactly as shown, but when I opened the whatsapp app, it says no backup found from icloud. Is it because of my data is too big for the icloud to hold ?

[@rafiqaroslan3018]

Ikrr. How to fix that?

[@Lliryht]

Quick question. I want to switch from my Android phone to iPhone. Got my iPhone 13 Mini today. WhatsApp is the latest version and I updated iOS as well. But now every time I click on "move data from Android" my iPhone loses connection to the Wifi. Yours does too for a brief moment but it comes back after entering the code. It doesn't for me, even though it's set up and works. I am really frustrated after trying for hours to make it work, I removed the simcard in order to prevent my phone from switching to cellular but it still doesn't work. :( Does anyone know a solution to this? I really need my chats, they're full of information I need...

[@user-gy2yw5fv5b]

Try turning off „auto connect to the best Wifi network“ in your android Wifi Settings. Out of any reason this worked for me. The iPhone kept the Wifi connection. I also changed both devices to a Wifi network that doesn’t automatically switch between 2.4 and 5 Ghz.

[@loohuibin2456]

do you change the sim card to the new iphone first before performing everything?

[@felivelsa]

That's not necessary

[@biebs_x]

Does this also work from Samsung to iPhone?

[@styletoys7469]

It's only work with Samsung to iPhones

[@Imsuccessfunda]

unfortunately, this app doesn't work... all SMS gets transferred... BUT not transfer of whatsapp data !

Hello, any way I can move 2 backups to a new phone? I have data on an old 6S and data from the past 5 years on a Huawei Mate 10 The idea is to restore both and consolidate on a new iphone 14 Pro, thanks.

[@klgadgettv]

Nope you can't, as it will overwrite the existing data on the target device.

[@stevenkng01]

I’ve got my iPhone set up and running for awhile now, how do I just wanna bring my WhatsApp chats through? Do I backup all my current iPhone data to iCloud, then factory reset my iPhone then run the move to iOS once again? Can I then setup the reset iPhone with the backed up iCloud to have my data plus the WhatsApp chats? Please help and I can’t lose my chats, thanks in advance folks🥺

[@אורלוי-נ8ט]

Joining the question!!

[@aizielarif9354]

this process need to be reset the ipone completely. so u are better of using 3rd party apps to transfer the data without resestting ur iphone

[@stevenkng01]

Update: I got everything over and it’s all fine and well :D, if you have an older phone might need to wait a long while as there might be loads of data to prepare and transfer over. Took me near 10hrs lmaoo as my data were huge

[@nkatekofortune6965]

Hey Steve I see you managed to do it, how did you do it. Just got my iPhone, please assist I have alot if messages I want to keep

[@turbomaruz]

Did you use 3rd party or did the reset factory thing.

[@YasoAMTV]

WhatsApp media on android is also on the camera roll, so is there duplicate when you transfer over both WhatsApp and phone photos?

(I believe that the seller have subscribed to a transferring service that allows unlimited transfers, and they are sharing the access to people who buy their service through shopee) The whole process took about an hour or 2 hours? not too sure, i've forgot hahah but yeah, that was the only solution i found. Quite safe i would say, i see many good reviews and my phone has not been hacked or have any issues since.

[@kolapryme1066]

I've been using my iPhone XS for a while now but without WhatsApp on it because I still had that on my Samsung S8, but with this app, it's been super easy to move the WhatsApp to iOS. Now the problem I have is that I had to back up my iPhone to iTunes, before resetting the iPhone to allow for WhatsApp transfer. Will restoring my iPhone backup from iTunes now that the WhatsApp is on the iPhone affect the newly transferred WhatsApp such that I might lose my chats altogether and have to start afresh? I would REALLY love a response. Thank you! 🙏🏾

[@mushfiq8318]

backup your iphone, reset it. transfer whatsapp chat to iphone and make sure you backup to icloud specifically whatsapp only then reset your iphone again and restore from the original backup. whatsapp should be stored in icloud chat so you'll be safe
