STEP BY STEP

Transfer WhatsApp from iPhone to Android

Phone to phone, with guidance along the way.

01

Install and choose your move

Install the app on the destination Android phone and choose iPhone to Android. Confirm the WhatsApp app type against the options supported by your release.

02

Connect and trust

Connect with a compatible USB cable. Allow USB access on Android, unlock your iPhone and accept its trust prompt. Keep both devices available.

03

Prepare the source data

Follow the app as it prepares iPhone WhatsApp data. If encrypted local backups are detected, read the in-app explanation carefully: the guided action may turn backup encryption off without turning it back on automatically. Pause if unsure. Never enter a backup password on this website.

04

Review and transfer

Review the available data, then follow the permission and transfer prompts. Keep the cable connected and do not switch WhatsApp accounts during the process.

05

Restore inside WhatsApp

Follow the in-app Restore Guide. Sign in to Android WhatsApp with the same phone number and select local restoration when prompted. Completing the transfer in the app still requires you to finish restoration inside WhatsApp.

Do not assume existing and transferred chats will be merged. Read the data and restoration instructions in the app before starting, and keep a backup of anything important.
