The process begins by preparing both the Android phone and the iPhone Method supports only one personal WhatsApp account at a time

A long-awaited step, amid growing anticipation: transferring WhatsApp chats from Android devices to iPhone has become much easier and safer, after many years of complexity and reliance on unofficial solutions that could result in the loss of important data.

The process, which includes personal messages, photos, and sensitive documents, is no longer a challenge thanks to the new transfer tools provided by WhatsApp and Apple.

Preparing the devices for transfer

The process begins by preparing both the Android phone and the iPhone, ensuring both devices are fully charged to avoid any interruption during the transfer. A stable internet connection is required, preferably via Wi-Fi, and it is recommended to use a USB-C to Lightning cable if performing a wired connection between the devices.

Using the Move to iOS app

The Move to iOS app is the official and primary solution for transferring data. After installing the app on the Android device, the phones should be placed near each other, and the user begins the setup from the iPhone’s initial screen, selecting the “Transfer Your Apps & Data” option and choosing to transfer from an Android device. A temporary code appears on the iPhone screen, which is entered into the app, creating a temporary Wi-Fi network to link the devices. Afterward, the data to be transferred can be selected, including WhatsApp chats, photos, and other content.

Accurate chat transfer

Users can choose to transfer WhatsApp chats only, without transferring all other data. The app will prompt opening WhatsApp on the Android device to confirm the export. Once completed, Move to iOS finalizes the iPhone setup.

It should be noted that this method supports only one personal WhatsApp account at a time and does not include WhatsApp Business accounts, which require additional steps.

Tips and recommendations

Experts advise avoiding unreliable third-party apps for transferring chats and ensuring sufficient space on the new iPhone to accommodate all data.

By following these steps, Android users can move to iOS easily without losing their chat memories, enjoying a smoother and safer experience than ever before.
