    • Go to 'Settings' > [your name] > 'iCloud'.
    • Toggle on 'iCloud Drive' and 'Keychain'.
  2. Update WhatsApp: Make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed. Updates often include improvements and bug fixes that can enhance synchronization capabilities.

    • During the setup process on your new iPhone, select 'Restore from iCloud Backup'.
    • Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    • Choose the latest backup that includes your WhatsApp data.
    • Wait for the restore process to complete before opening WhatsApp.
  6. Check Sync Status: After enabling synchronization, you can check if your messages are syncing properly by comparing conversations on different devices connected to the same iCloud account.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your WhatsApp data is synchronized across all your Apple devices, providing a seamless and secure communication experience.
