Moving from Android to iPhone doesn't mean losing WhatsApp conversations. Apple's Move to iOS app helps transfer chats, photos and videos.

Android 5.0+ and iOS 15.5+ are required. Update WhatsApp, use the same number and factory-reset your iPhone.

Open Move to iOS on Android and follow the iPhone setup instructions. Enter the displayed code to connect both devices.

Choose WhatsApp under Transfer Data and tap Start. Wait while your chats and media are prepared for migration.

Complete the transfer without disconnecting either phone. Install WhatsApp on iPhone, verify your number and tap Start.

Call history, display names and peer-to-peer payment messages aren't transferred. Create an iCloud backup separately to protect your chats.
