Switching from an Android phone to an iPhone is exciting, but it can also bring stress if you are worried about losing your WhatsApp data.

Way 1. Move to iOS App

Apple has developed the Move to iOS app to help Android users bring data to an iPhone. You can use this app to move chats directly, starting from iOS 15.5 and supported WhatsApp versions. While this method works, it is only suitable for new or factory reset iPhones.

Steps to transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone using the Move to iOS App:
Step 1. Make sure your Android runs Android 5 (Lollipop) or higher, and your iPhone runs iOS 15.5 or higher.

Step 2. Install the Move to iOS app on your Android phone from the Play Store.

Step 3. Factory reset your iPhone, or use a new iPhone (this only works during setup).

Step 4. Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network. Plug in both phones to keep power.

Step 5. On the iPhone, start setup, choose "Move Data from Android" when prompted.

Step 6. On your Android, open Move to iOS. Follow instructions until you see a code on the iPhone like this..

Step 7. Enter the code on your Android. Select WhatsApp from the transfer options.

Step 8. Tap "Start" on your Android. The app prepares your WhatsApp data for transfer and logs you out.

Step 9. Click "Next" to return to Move to iOS.

Step 10. Tap "Continue" on both devices and wait for transfer to end.

Step 11. On iPhone, install WhatsApp, log in using the same phone number, tap "Start," and finish setup.

How to Use Tenorshare iCareFone WhatsApp Transfer?

Step 1. Install iCareFone WhatsApp Transfer on your computer.

Step 2. Connect your Android and iPhone to the computer using USB cables.

Step 3. Verify your WhatsApp account (one that you used to create back up). Log in to your account so the data appears after the WhatsApp Android to iPhone transfer finishes.

Step 4. And your WhatsApp data has been transferred successfully.

Way 3. Move WhatsApp from Android to iOS with Google Drive Backup

Google Drive backup is a standard way to save Android WhatsApp data. By itself, you cannot directly restore a backup from Google Drive to an iPhone, but a few steps still let you transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone. You can do it manually or by using certain paid third-party tools.

Steps to transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone with Google Drive backup:
Manual Export Method (without third-party apps):

Step 1. On Android, open WhatsApp.

Step 2. Tap three dots, go to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup.

Step 3. Tap "Back Up". Data is saved to Google Drive.

Step 4. On the computer, sign into Google Drive, find WhatsApp backup file, download.

Step 5. Go to www.icloud.com, log into your iCloud account, open iCloud Drive.

Step 6. Upload the WhatsApp backup file from your PC to iCloud Drive.

Step 7. On your iPhone, open WhatsApp, go to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup.

Step 8. Delete and reinstall WhatsApp if previous backup info appears.

Step 9. Follow on-screen instructions to finish setup.

FAQs
1. What messages can I transfer to my new phone?
You can transfer nearly all your WhatsApp message data to your new iPhone, including personal chats, group conversations, images, videos, voice notes, and your profile photo. However, not all information migrates - payment messages, your displayed name for others, and WhatsApp call history won't carry over

If you use tools like Tenorshare iCareFone WhatsApp Transfer, the process keeps your messages private and secure, so your chat history moves intact. Always verify what's included before starting, especially if you rely on chat groups or media files for work or personal reasons.

2. Can I transfer my call history?
No, WhatsApp call history cannot be transferred from Android to iPhone using any of the current standard methods, including Move to iOS, Google Drive, or Tenorshare iCareFone WhatsApp Transfer.

While your individual and group messages, photos, and other media will successfully move, the call logs stay with your old Android device.

If call records are essential to you, it is best to back them up separately, as WhatsApp's migration tools focus on chat data and media, not calls. There is no official or third-party solution that reliably migrates this specific part of your WhatsApp data at this time.

Conclusion
If you want to transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone with no data loss, you have three main options, as we discussed. The Move to iOS app is simple and official, but only works during iPhone setup. Google Drive backup provides flexibility but demands careful handling and sometimes uses extra software. For most users, Tenorshare iCareFone WhatsApp Transfer is the most reliable choice. It's quick, secure, and transfers everything, including when your iPhone is already in use.

In short, Tenorshare iCareFone WhatsApp Transfer is the perfect tool to go with. It's the safest bet to move WhatsApp data from Android to iPhone, keep your data secure, and make the process hassle-free.
