STEP BY STEP

Transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone

Phone to phone, with guidance along the way.

01

Install and choose your move

Install the app on your original Android phone and choose Android to iPhone. Have your destination iPhone, charged phones, enough free space and a compatible cable ready.

02

Prepare WhatsApp data

Follow the app’s permission and source-data instructions. Some flows require backup preparation or verification inside WhatsApp; follow your current app version.

03

Review the data

Wait for preparation and review available chats and media. Opening a preview does not automatically select data for transfer; check your selection before continuing.

04

Connect your iPhone

Use a compatible USB cable or adapter. Complete Android USB access, iPhone unlocking and trust prompts. Read any additional device-setting instructions before acting.

05

Finish and restore

Keep both phones connected until the app finishes. Follow the guide to restore inside iPhone WhatsApp using the same phone number, then check important chats and media.

Factory reset, WhatsApp restoration and merging chats are different operations. Back up both phones and review the selected mode before continuing.
