To effectively transfer your WhatsApp data, including conversations, from one Android device to another, follow these detailed steps:

    • Tap on "BACK UP" to create a backup of your chats, media, and settings. This process will save your data to Google Drive. Ensure you have a reliable internet connection for this step.
  2. Restore Data on the New Phone:

    • Install WhatsApp on your new Android phone from the Google Play Store if it's not already installed.
    • Open WhatsApp and go through the initial setup process until you reach the "Copy WhatsApp data" screen. If you don't see this screen, you may need to start the process manually.

    • WhatsApp will send a verification code to the provided number. Enter this code when prompted to complete the setup.
  4. Restore Media:

    • After verifying your phone number and restoring chats, you can choose whether to restore media from Google Drive. This step is optional but recommended if you want to retain all your photos, videos, and voice messages.
    • Tap on "RESTORE" when prompted, and wait for the process to complete. The time taken will depend on the size of your backup and the speed of your internet connection.
  5. Complete Setup:

    • Ensure that both devices are connected to a stable Wi-Fi network throughout the process to avoid any interruptions or data loss.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly transfer your WhatsApp conversations and other data from one Android device to another, ensuring continuity in your communication.
