Transfer WhatsApp data between Android and iPhone with Tenorshare iCareFone Transfer ➤ bit.ly/3A53yrj
I have an iPhone 5s that I want to change to samsung a52s
However I can't backup because ther is no icloud storage can I still use this method without backup ????
Don't use this program!
I don't get why they don't allow to backup to Google Drive on iPhone. That would make everything so much easier.
Yes, that's just strictly Apple vs Google war BS
Frankly the only video that clearly explains how the whole process runs. All the other videos have missed one thing or another
Thank you so much
I have a WhatsApp business, and it did not work. So what I did was to change my account to a normal WhatsApp and then transfer from the iPhone to Samsung. It took some time, but actually worked! Thank you so much!!!!!!
That was a clever move, thank you so much
At the onset I would like to thank you Mr. Su Amigo Alex for this lovely informative video. I did it today and it was successful however I would like to add some important findings that I observed during the process -
1. The time taken to back up the data then to download the data and importing will take approximately 6-7 hours altogether where importing of 4 GB whatsapp data took almost over 3 hours. So guys charge your battery to the full.
2. All media in whatsapp will appear on the phone gallery which will unnecessary consume your space and you need to delete those at some other time.
3. Docs and PDF are not opening after getting transferred in the new android phone.
4. Rest all chats and images and videos are totally visible.
5. Make sure not to click the notification tab after whatsapp has been restored else it will show import failed and all data will be gone. I had to repeat the process twice for the same.
Great info thank you Sir, yes my 2.5gb transfer took me around 3 hours
hi, I'm crushing at 39% in the iPhone when importing chats to android.. it was going well till 39% but after that its stuck .. how can i solve it?
@@michele1899 The transfer process takes long time how long is it getting stuck at 39%? Also please fully recharge your battery of iphone before transferring.
I have iphone x and samsung s21+.
I tried this method but everytime while transfering this error showed up in my samsung s21+ smart switch app "can't transfer content
There's not enough space. You can save your iphone data to computer instead."
My whatsapp whatsapp storage on iphone shows 20.4GB, while icloud whatsapp backup showed 7.42GB and my samsung s21+ is having 98.9GB empty space.
Please reply to this comment as my whatsapp data is very important for me and I don't want to lose it while switching from ios to android
I got blocked from entering whatsapp for 3 days due to registering on two phones trying all sorts of things! Was dealing with this issue not working for days. The issue was the data restore tool not being updated. Once I updated that, I was able to see the scan code, and transfer finally worked. Thank you!!! Was a huge headache.
Yes Sir, great comment, thank you - The issue was the data restore tool not being updated
you save my day!!! all of the other videos on yt are garbage. Your is what we all are looking for! Whatsapp & Samsung should post your video everywhere on this topic.
Thank you so much brother, I really appreciate your comment.
THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY WHATSAPP DATA!!! Your video is the only one that’s detailed and clear in instructions. You’re a legend!!
Thank you so much Diana!
Thank you so much! I went through so many guides and did everything but never got the QR Code to scan. Turns out my Samsung didn’t have the data transfer tool even though I factory reset it. This step was never mentioned anywhere and now I can do it. Though I will never get the hours back trying to figure it out. You’re my MVP!
Thank you so much for your kind words, they really motivate me to do more tutorials, have a great day!
Hi, dont you need a backup in the iphone before right?
I want to transfer chats from iphone 6 to Samsung M30s. How to know whether Samsung has the WhatsApp transfer tool or not?
Thank you for your detailed guide. You pointed versions. So now I’m able to transfer data.
Glad it helped
Thanks for this video. I went through all these steps. You've made it really clear!
Awesome, thank you.
Just wanted to say, thank you very much for figuring this out and then telling us, in particular getting through the inaccuracy that the transfer was only available for factor-reset Samsungs. Great that this works even for seasoned Samsungs already out in the field!
Great thank you so much!
Thank you so much Alex.
The best video on CZcams to explain step by step to transfer the WhatsApp form my IPhone to my new Android.
Works fine for me.
My Samsung was alread with the WhatsApp installed, I desinstall and install again by this process and I had sucess.
Awesome
Did you backup iphone whatsapp before or you just dont need it?
Best video ever, regarding this subject... Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Alex, amazing video by u. Very helpful.
Thank you Sir
Oh my god! Man you saved my arse.. I tried many things. Waited for many days to do this transfet. Finally, finally everything went well 🙌... anybody watching plz find a properly functioning cable unless process will disconnect in the middle. You can use a usb type C male to usb type A female adaper together with your iphone cable to perform this successfully.. everything is in right order belive me. Thank 😊🙏 you very much ❤ brother for your valuable video...!!!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you, thank you!! Clear, simple and precise! Exactly what I needed. And, of course, it works! 😊
Glad it helped!
thanks, Ive been struggling with my parents phone for a while trying to follow the official instructions. This got it to work
Thank you Sir it’s my pleasure to help.
Found this guide after several failed tries on my own. Here to confirm that this method actually works. Going from old iPhone to S24. Thanks amigo!
Glad it helped
It worked perfectly, thankyou very much.
Awesome!
Thank you very much for this video ❤️🙏 it works after I updated the data restore video app
Happy to help
Thank you so much for this video! I had both my phones system and apps updated, the first attempt was a fail, but then I re-installed What's App on my new phone and i think it's working!!! It's still importing the chat history on my new phone, so I'll comeback in a few minutes to give an update lol
Edit (update):
It worked omg 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Again, thank you so much ❤️
Please do, thank you.
@@SuAmigoAlex It worked!!! 🤩🥳 Thank you so much!!
Appreciate this bro, THANKS!
Happy to help!

Thanks for the tip
Love you bro ❤️ it works,, Thanks a lot
Thank you 🙏🏽
Hello Alex.
My whatsapp on iphone crashes when it's on 40% at preparing chats, so I can never go further than that. Until those damn 40%, everything goes accordingly. Do you know what may be causing the crash? I'm using iphone 6s and transferring to s20FE.
Thank you so much, it really works!
Glad it helped!
This works and was a huge help! thanks
Glad it helped!

I can confirm the method is working perfectly in 2023 .

Thanks you sir, for doing their job.
Thank you so much for the video! Finally able to transfer my WhatsApp chat after two days

Thanks God, I found your video... You were the only person who made a perfect video explaining the topic correctly. Thank you very much.
So nice of you
Thanks for all. Grettings from Colombia.

Glad it helped
damn, you are a life saver, thank you so much for this video. yup, it works. from Nepal
Thank you so much, I hope to visit Nepal one day
Thanks a lot man
I’m glad, thank you
I was about to get mad you are showing transfers to Samsung only when the hard part are other Android phones but then you did show in the end what is the trick. How didn't I think of it earlier. Transfer to a Samsung and then you can just sync between any Android. Not ideal, but at least it works! Thanks bud.
There you go, also now the new Pixel 6 also allow WhatsApp chat history transfer natively
@@SuAmigoAlex Oh man I am using the Pixel 6 and I can't get it to work, but I didn't know it does. I think I screwed up the process somehow but I will reset my phone and try one last time, I checked the news and yea it's supported!
Best explanation out there! Hope it works...
It should if you have a Samsung, Pixel or a phone with Android 12
Yes, it worked!! THANK YOU!!!
Nobody told me to update the data restore tool, not even the official instructions. Thanks a lot mate.
The official instructions suck big time
Alex bro, thank your help!
You are very Welcome 🙏🏽
Does it work with type c port phones only or with type microusb ports with adapter..?
Thank you so much for this video. Your instructions are much more thorough than anything on the official website xD
Thank you so much 🙏🏽
Thank you It worked
Glad it helped
I Same follow the step but whatsup Data transfer time in all applications show but whatsup not show how to transfer data plzz guide me thnxx
NICE ❤️.
Only video that helped me
Thank you
My daily phone is a galaxy and for the past 2 months I have been using and iPhone and I want my recent iPhone chats on my galaxy but I’m worried when I transfer the data it will override my old Samsung chats will that be an issue?
Yes, I don't think they is a way to merge them
I’ve tried the steps to transfer from iPhone 11 to Samsung z flip 3, all latest versions but I didn’t get the QR code.. on the app transfer screen on smart switch, it doesn’t mention anything about the QR code, only that the app will ask for permissions. I’ve backed up to iCloud just before trying the transfer too..Any idea? Thanks
Hi, I tried with different devices and it worked for me, did you update the Data Restore Tool app? Also how big is your WhatsApp backup? Lastly you don't have WhatsApp installed on the Samsung device right?
@@SuAmigoAlex hi, yes I’m using the latest version of smart switch. My WhatsApp backup size is 1.05gb. Yea I don’t have WhatsApp installed on the Samsung device
You are amazing
I’ve tried so many times yet it still says ‘no enough storage’. My whatsapp data is only 15gb, my samsung a33 has 100.7gb available. What should I do? Please help me 😢🙏🏻
That's weird, I need to do a new video
@@SuAmigoAlex thank you 🙏🏻 or perhaps I shouldn’t insert my 16gb sd card yet before transfer the whatsapp chat?
Thanks
Welcome
Not getting an option to.import messages after taking back. What should i do. Please help
NICE.......
i have downloaded the apps but when i connect the phone nothing pops up
Su Amigo Alex: hello there, did you have the WhatsApp application already installed in your Samsung phone before you did the transfer from the iPhone or it was installed during the transfer from the iPhone to the Samsung? Let me know. Thanks!
Don't install WhatsApp on Android, wait for the transfer to do it.
Well, I've tried doing the same with iPhone SE to Galaxy S10 with no luck.
WhatsApp size is 9.1 gb on the iPhone.
IPhone has 27gb free out of 64 available.
Galaxy is completely empty (128gb model).
I can see the qr code. But the process is stuck on "preparing chats" at 34 percent.
Real lame that a company like Facebook rolls out a feature like this that barely works.
Has anyone encountered this issue?
I've tried factory resetting thr galaxy phone again, restarting the iPhone, Changing cables without any luck.
Hi, you are right, but pls try reducing your WhatsApp backup size, delete all those videos and memes from all those group chats, thats should work. Also update everything to the latest version including OS and all the Google data apps (Samsung SmartSwitch, Data Restore Tool)
@@SuAmigoAlex Thank you Alex. Everything is updated to the latest version including Google restore tool.
I have a lot of valuable things there. After deleting junk I'm left with 6.8gb and the same issue persists.
I wonder if whatsapp are dealing with it /:
@@zandmoshe7648 hey zand did you solve it?
@@SuAmigoAlex even i am facing issues.getting chats ready is reaching at 39% & then crashing..tried 30 times !
I have 5 gb of whatsapp data on my iPhone & 100 gb is free on iphone & Samsung..also all phones are completely updated!!
Pls help
Any solution reached ?
Wonderful
Good morning Alex
The issued that I am having is that I could not transfer my WhatsApp chats histories to a Samsung phone. I tried different way, even backing up on icloud, but still no able to do it. there is a message on WhatsApp that read end to end encryption, and I think that could the issue, I am not sure. How can I disable it on WhatsApp?
Thank you
God bless.
Thanks a lot
Happy to help
I wanted to ask you do you put sim card to your new phone before trasnfering data or after trasnfering data?
After
thank you for the step, goodbye apple and welcome android (actually i made my gf move to flip 3 lol)
LOL
I have tried it several times but I never get a QR Code to Scan on the Samsung. I have resetet the Samsung and made everything exactly like in the Video (newest Versions of Smart Switch and Data Restore). But there Came Never a QR Code on the Samsung S9
Hi, make sure you have Android 10 or up, check this out czcams.com/video/cBZraTUv2XA/video.html
NICE 😁,
I've made sure my iPhone 7 updated to ios 14 and WhatsApp also updated. Want to migrate to my Z Flip 3.
But the WhatsApp on my iPhone always crash when progress around 24%-26%. Any idea?
Same problem, my WA crash when 36%

Excellent post! It actually worked for me. Would it work the same way if you were to transfer from Andriod to Iphone?
Hi Katie, from now it's only from iPhone to Samsung, hopefully we will see from Android to iOS soon. Thank you
@@SuAmigoAlex on the iPhone it’ll simply be a restore from iCloud?
@@Firebus1122 The problem is that the WhatsApp backup on iCloud has a different format that the WhatsApp backup on Android thus they are not interchangeable, thats why we need an app like Smart Switch to do the job.
what if you want to transfer it to a whatsapp dual app on samsung?

Hello Sir any idea when android to iphone feature will come up ??? I have samsung phone and wanted to shift to ios
Yes thats the most popular request, I hope 2021 for sure
My Iphone whatsapp jump out from the middle of transfer. May i know anyone facing such problem? I got my both whatsapp latest version.
Try factory reset and also when doing the transfer don't accept phone calls, that might interfere with the transfer.
i tried on iphone 7 14.7 to samsung m40 Qr code for chat transfer is not coming on the samsung phone ..is mandatory to wipe all the data on the Samsung ??Fyi i have removed whats app on samsung
Update WhatsApp on the iPhone, update to iOS 15 too, update Smart Switch on the Android, also the Data Restore Tool.

Hello! Did you find a solution? Same problem here
Hi Alex.. The method I followed from iPhone 7plus to Samsung Galaxy A54.. The chat history is transferred but not any single images or videos I could see in my new phone.. pls suggest what mistake I did..
I have latest Chat backups in my iPhone
How big is your WhatsApp backup? How much storage do you have on iCloud?
@@SuAmigoAlex Thanks for your reply.. overall 3GB WhatsApp backup, 16 GB in I cloud
@@pulse_sonic did you figure a solution? I have the same problem too!
I followed this video now but when I get to the Import step at 11:00 it says "Loading..." then after a few seconds "Phone number mismatch. We couldn't import your chats because the number you registered with WhatsApp is different from the phone number used for creating the backup. If you want to restore your chats, re-register with the correct phone number."
Which is not true because I use the same number as my WhatsApp on iPhone.
Hi, ai think you are the second person with the same problem, the problema is on WhatsApp not smart switch, I will recommend you to do a new backup on iCloud and try again
@@SuAmigoAlex Ok will the backup on iCloud help fix that error or is that just a precaution?
I backed up but it is still giving the same error "Phone number mismatch" I know it's the same phone as I had to verify it and get the SMS everytime I try the import again, I've tried about 5 times now
@@ChristiaanMeyer My guess is that at some point you did a backup with a different number? maybe
