Whatsapp Transfer to iPhone

Hi,


I change mobile from android to iPhone SE2 recently. I've transferred all my data to iPhone except whatsapp conversations and its media files. Even I've tried Dr.Fone but was not success. Please advise how can I get my whatsapp chat backups to iPhone?

You want to transfer chat history backed up from an android device on google drive to your iPhone.

No, it cannot be done!

But, you could email individual conversations from your android device and simply view them as a text file on your iPhone/computer.

This is really bad and not expected when moving to Apple. Am really disappointed.


It would be nice to have continuity in WhatsApp Chats when the user changes from Android to iOS, or vice-versa.

However, in my opinion, this is to be factored-in by WhatsApp (Facebook) - not Apple or Google.

Your disappointment, though understandable, is misguided!
