Transfer WhatsApp Chats from iPhone to Android (Samsung) || Move Chats to Android

[@technowindow]

Hey guys, if you are using a non-Samsung Android or if for some reasons these instructions aren't working on your Samsung device, then you can follow these instructions: cutt.ly/whatsapp-from-ios-to-android to transfer WhatsApp data from iPhone to your Android in a few minutes.

[@mansoor.ali.1711]

one can use smart switch with android phones also...no worries

[@tonikadige700]

If u can't move to other than Samsung, well you can transfer chats to Samsung then upload to google drive then use your other phone to restore chats from google🎉

[@positivityonly7]

Absolutely

[@one.consciousness]

There is a fault in this video in the last step when you try to verify your number in the Android phone it has to send a code to the iPhone which cannot be received without canceling the transfer screen in the iPhone :(

[@Sirandis]

Biggest advice when doing this. make sure that whatsapp is not already dled on the phone. It has to be uninstalled before processing on the android. The smart switch would dl the app once it goes through the process.

[@Hajra0]

what does dled mean?? can you help me please also i am transferring from iphone to android too, so do you mean that i should not download whatsapp in my android before transfer??

[@AeroMiku]

Successfully transferred chat history into my Android phone (Galaxy Z Fold 5) from an iPhone 13. This method is really working but it took me around 2 hours to transfer including configuring both phones. BTW, USB-C to Lightning cable included in the box (iPhone 13) refuse to connect to my Galaxy Fold. I have to use USB-C to USB-A and 3rd party cable USB-A to Lightning to make it work. Big THANKS to this video that I don't have to purchase scam and sus whatsapp transfer program which is OVERPRICED for single use

[@soorajsingh8799]

do media pdf files also get transferred ? or just chats

[@stylishturtle7476]

After being an iphone user for almost 7 yrs, android became better and nw im an android user, s21 ultra

[@Belomoh6]

Imagine comparing a 7 yo iphone with a 2 years old android, duh? Lol

[@stylishturtle7476]

@Belomoh6 wow, y read my comment very well! Can you read like 2-3 more times to understand it? I said after using (Iphone) for 7 years which means i used more than one iphone, the last iphone was iphone 13 so? I bought now iphone 14 additional to my s21 ultra.

[@abhinav.saxenaa]

After using iPhone 12 more than 1 year I realised android is much better except camera quality

[@don.agassini]

It worked! Thank you! Same advice as below: - whatsapp should not be installed on Samsung; - SIM card stays in iPhone during the transfer

[@saniajannatulkubra]

can I transfer the sim card into samsung phone after transfering?

[@Joellllllllllll]

@@saniajannatulkubra of course, nothing to do with the sim after you done transferring them

[@don.agassini]

@@saniajannatulkubra Yes, after you see the WhatsApp conversations on Samsung, you can move the SIM in it.

[@saniajannatulkubra]

I tried in this way but my android says it’s not enough storage space! ( though it's enough space). what to do?

[@don.agassini]

@@saniajannatulkubra Maybe someone has a better advice, but I'd say to free-up more memory and repeat the process. Even if it might look like there is enough space, the app might use some more storage for temporary operations. If you can, move all files from the Android phone to free-up as much space as possible. After WhatsApp transfer is completed successfully, you can bring them back.

[@naveensodem]

Amazing. I don't think its humanly possible to do this without watching this and following these steps to the t. Takes a long time, so if someone is trying to do this, make sure both your phones are at 100% charge.

[@adityatest-t9p]

Does it moves media also ?

[@naveensodem]

@@adityatest-t9pIt did for me. Moved all vids, docs, images . Its like the chats were straight up cloned to a new phone.

[@sachithraindrajithsiriward9366]

Thanks! Instructions clear as day. Was completely frustrated because of the lack of instructions or intuitive process design (troubleshooting when the initial attempts don't work is a nightmare).

[@tusharroyiit]

This trick worked the 2nd time i tried. Not the entire chat was transferred but 90% of it was transferred. Its correct that you when transferring chats from iPhone.. you have to uninstall the app in your Android phone then it works almost perfectly. Just follow step by step process shown in the video. You will succeed.

[@tiagofbm]

I cant thank you enough. I cannot believe that there is no video like this on the whatsapp FAQ. Btw, for this to work, you cannot have Whatsapp already installed on your Android. If you have already download it, delete it. Doing so, you can follow the steps described in the video and everything will work.

[@naemanmalik6107]

Worked like a charm.. Failed few times coz battery was low. Charge both phones above 80% if you are facing issues .

Where?

[@philg6613]

I transferred the sim from my iPhone to my new Galaxy before the process. But if both phones connected to wifi, I don't think it matters.

[@Joellllllllllll]

you have to place the SIM at your iPhone so you can do the verification step without "cancel", else you will fail

[@danyzmusic]

@@Joellllllllllll so that's why it wasn't working, thanks! it was so simple but no one mentioned it.

[@Aamadmax21]

Works like a charm even now in 2024 on Android 14 ect, just 1 important note, uninstall WhatsApp on the Andriod device before doing the backup and restore
