Method 1: Transfer WhatsApp Messages from Android to iPhone via Email Chat

Using Email to transfer WhatsApp messages is relatively easy and there are no too many steps.

What you have to do is:

  • Open WhatsApp.
  • Click on Settings > Chats Settings > Chat History > Email chat.
  • Select the WhatsApp chat history files you want to transfer, you can also choose to attach media or without media.
  • Next, you will go to the sending page, make sure you have already logged in your WhatsApp on the new iPhone, then send the chat history to it.

While this works, the email chat is not a perfect way, just sort of a makeshift method. You will not be able to view the chat history on WhatsApp like before.

Method 2: Using Move to iOS. This app developed by Apple Company. You can install it to your Android phone from Google Play and use it to move Android files to iPhone easily.

What you have to do is:

  • Download and install Move to iOS on your Android device.
  • You will need to accept the terms and conditions, then you will see the Find your code screen.
  • Next, set up your iPhone till you see the Move from Android screen. Wait for the 10-digit or 6-digit code appear. Note that if you have set up the device, you will need to factory reset it first.
  • Enter the code on your Android phone;
  • Select the files you want to transfer to iPhone and wait for the whole process finishes.

The issue with this method is that the messages will not be found in the chats inside the WhatsApp app for iPhone.
