Buying or increasing to a new cellphone can be fun, but one of the worst parts of making that transition must set your new device. If you use an application like WhatsApp, transfer the data you save can be more confusing. Messaging platform requires you to take certain steps to start backup your data to stay protected before you transfer it to a new device.
At present there are two official ways you can transfer your chat backup, allowing you to keep your chat history no matter which device you move to or. One of these methods only functions when transferring from the iPhone to a Samsung handset or smartphone running Android 12. There is no special transfer option of other devices available today, meaning you have to use the Google Drive method if you don’t migrate from iOS to Android.
It is important to note that regardless of the method you are using, each data stored on your first device will remain on it unless you delete the memory and remove WhatsApp completely.
You will also need a USB-C cable to lightning or an adapter that will allow your device cable to connect. Your new device needs to operate with the same telephone number (possibly with the same SIM card) as an old device.
Your target of your Samsung Phone must be in the new factory or reset to factory settings before you can continue, according to WhatsApp. This means you cannot use a hacked device, one with a locked bootloader, or anything from nature – the average user never started this type of modification, so you have to be fine.
To transfer the history of the WhatsApp chat from the iPhone to the Samsung smartphone, follow these steps:
First, turn on your Samsung phone and connect it to your iPhone using a USB-C cable to lightning when prompted
Follow the instructions on the screen in the Samsung Smartswitch application.
Scan QR code displayed on Samsung phones using your iPhone camera when requested.
Tap “Start” on the iPhone and wait for the progress bar loaded completely.
Open WhatsApp on your Samsung device uses the same phone number as your old device.
Finally, tap the “Import” option when requested and let the process completely complete.
You can access your chat data in the WhatsApp application after completing your mobile activation.
Another easy way to transfer WhatsApp data involves a Google Drive backup method, which supports all your information to your Google account. For this reason, you must enter your Google account and make sure you have enough empty space on Google Drive to save the history of the WhatsApp chat. Assuming you have fulfilled the prerequisites, you must follow these steps to back up your data:
Now you must be able to access all your chats and media on your new cellphone. Keep in mind that some of your WhatsApp data, such as a call log, will not be transferred using this method.
