How to restore WhatsApp on a new phone after deleting it on Android - in detail?

To restore WhatsApp on a new phone after deleting it on an Android device, follow these detailed steps:

1. Backup Your Chats: Before switching to a new phone, ensure that your WhatsApp chats are backed up. WhatsApp automatically creates backups of your chats every day at 2 AM, but you can also manually create a backup by going to WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Backup.

2. Transfer Your Data: To transfer your WhatsApp data from an Android device to a new phone, use the Samsung Smart Switch app if you're switching to a Samsung device. For other Android devices, you can use the Google Drive backup method.

   • Using Google Drive Backup:

     • Open WhatsApp on your old Android phone and go to Settings > Chats > Backup.
     • Tap on BACK UP to create a new backup. This process will upload your chats to Google Drive.
     • When setting up WhatsApp on your new phone, you'll be prompted to restore your chat history from the Google Drive backup. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the restoration process.

   • Using Samsung Smart Switch:

     • Connect both devices using a USB cable or use the Nearby Share feature for wireless transfer.
     • Open the Smart Switch app on both devices and follow the prompts to transfer your data, including WhatsApp messages.

3. Set Up WhatsApp on Your New Phone: After transferring your data using one of the methods mentioned above, you can now set up WhatsApp on your new phone:

   • Download and install WhatsApp from the Google Play Store if it's not already installed.
   • Open WhatsApp and enter your phone number to receive a verification code via SMS or call.
   • Once verified, you'll be prompted to restore your chat history from the backup created on your old device. Tap on RESTORE to start the process.
   • Wait for the restoration to complete. The time it takes depends on the size of the backup and your internet connection speed.
4. Complete the Restoration: After the restoration is complete, you'll be able to see all your chats and media files in WhatsApp on your new phone. Keep in mind that restoring from a Google Drive backup will not transfer your voice messages or calls. However, you can still access these features once WhatsApp is set up on your new device.

By following these steps, you can successfully restore WhatsApp on a new phone after deleting it on an Android device.
