Following the recent Apple conference, many people are preparing to switch from Android to the new iPhone 13. The device features the latest 5 nanometer Apple A15 Bionic chip.
As such, many backups and transfers will have to be made to recover your Android data to use on the iPhone. WhatsApp is precisely one of the flagship mobile applications, and it is important to be able to recover your conversations to transfer them to the next iPhone.
4 ways to transfer your WhatsApp conversations from Android to iOS
WhatsApp is popular messaging software, and people need to transfer their conversations from Android to their new iPhone if they want to keep their data. This is particularly the case for conversations and important content related to work or private life, such as souvenir photos.
However, how do you transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone? This is what we will discover in this tutorial through 4 methods.
1. Transfer WhatsApp conversations from Android to iPhone natively
Using traditional backup methods, it is impossible to transfer WhatsApp conversations between Android and iOS. However, you can save the photos and videos sent via WhatsApp on your Android smartphone and then transfer them to your new iPhone.
Besides, if there are any conversations containing important messages, you will only be able to transfer your WhatsApp conversations by taking screenshots of them and then transferring them to your new iPhone.
Suffice to say that this is not the best method insofar as you will only recover screenshots of your exchanges. But it’s still a quick way if you only need to keep track of a few of your messages.
