How do I transfer all my WhatsApp conversations to another iCloud account - in detail?

To transfer all your WhatsApp conversations to another iCloud account, you need to follow a detailed process that involves backing up your chats and then restoring them on the new iCloud account. Please note that this method is only applicable if you are switching from an iPhone to another iPhone. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Backup Your WhatsApp Chats:

    • Open WhatsApp on your current iPhone.
    • Go to Settings > Chats.
    • Tap on Chat Backup.
    • Choose the iCloud option and tap on Back Up Now.
  2. Transfer Your SIM Card (if applicable):

    • If you are using a different phone number with your new iPhone, ensure that the old SIM card is removed from the old device before transferring it to the new one. This step is crucial for WhatsApp to recognize the same number on both devices.
  3. Set Up Your New iPhone:

    • Turn on your new iPhone and follow the setup instructions until you reach the screen that asks if you want to restore from an iCloud backup or set up as a new device.
    • Choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
  4. Log In to Your New iCloud Account:

    • During the setup process, you will be prompted to log in with your Apple ID (iCloud account). Make sure to use the credentials of your new iCloud account.
  5. Restore WhatsApp Data:

    • After logging into your new iCloud account, select the most recent backup that contains your WhatsApp data.
    • Complete the setup process and wait for the restoration to finish.
  6. Verify Your Phone Number in WhatsApp:

    • Once the restoration is complete, open WhatsApp on your new iPhone.
    • Follow the prompts to verify your phone number. Use the same number that was associated with your old iCloud account.
    • After verifying, you should see all your previous chats and media in the app.
  7. Ensure Full Transfer:

    • It’s essential to check if all your conversations have been successfully transferred. Go through a few of your recent chats to confirm that all messages and media are present.
