The time had come, most of our informal daily conversations and discussions were happening in person. Now they take place on WhatsApp, creating a much-needed record of every recommendation made, every link posted and every image shared.

And thanks to the wonders of modern technology, you can usually keep WhatsApp conversations when you switch to a new device. If you’re upgrading from an LG G7 to a Google Pixel 6, for example, you can simply restore backups from your old phone to your new one.

But there is a problem: it only works if you stay with the same operating system. Try switching from Android to iOS and you’ll lose everything.

Google has created a solution for backing up from iOS, but it’s cumbersome, only applies to Android 12 and above, and can only be done while setting up your new phone. There is nothing available to restore messages from Android to iOS.

Luckily, help is at hand in the form of Tenorshare’s iCareFone Transfer app, which eliminates all the problems listed above and lets you transfer WhatsApp data from Android to iOS with ease.

All you need is a USB-C to Lightning cable and the iCareFone Transfer app to transfer everything from videos to emojis, as well as text messages, pictures, audio clips, and more.

To get started, simply download the iCareFone Transfer app from the Google Play Store, launch the app and connect your devices with an OTG cable, making sure you have created a WhatsApp backup on your Android phone first.

Then select the “Android to iOS” transfer mode and click “Allow”. Make sure WhatsApp is installed on your new iOS phone, then click “Next”.

At this point, you’ll have a choice of data types, allowing you to filter out things you don’t want, like images or videos.

The final step is to start WhatsApp on your iPhone using the same number and with “Find My Phone” disabled. The iCareFone Transfer app will do the rest.

Easy!
