How to save WhatsApp data from iPhone to Android - in detail?

To transfer WhatsApp data from an iPhone to an Android device, you need to follow a series of steps that involve backing up your data on iCloud and then restoring it on your new Android phone. Here's a detailed guide to help you through the process:

1. Backup Your Data on iPhone:

   • Open WhatsApp on your iPhone.
   • Go to 'Settings' > 'Chats' > 'Chat Backup'.
   • Tap on 'Back Up Now' and ensure that your data is backed up to iCloud. This process will save all your chats, photos, videos, and other media to the cloud.

2. Prepare Your Android Device:

   • Ensure your new Android phone has enough storage space for the backup data.
   • Install WhatsApp from the Google Play Store if it's not already installed on your Android device.

3. Transfer Data Using Google Drive:

   • Sign in to the same Google account on both your iPhone and Android devices. This step ensures that your data is seamlessly transferred between the two platforms.

4. Restore Data on Android:

   • Open WhatsApp on your new Android phone.
   • During the setup process, you will be prompted to restore your chat history from a backup. Tap 'Continue' or 'Agree and Continue'.
   • WhatsApp will automatically look for backups in Google Drive. Since you backed up your data on iCloud, it might not detect any backup initially. In this case, use the 'Local Backup' option if available.

5. Manual Transfer (If Automatic Method Fails):

   • If the automatic restoration process fails, consider using third-party apps or services designed for transferring WhatsApp data between different platforms. One popular option is Dr.Fone - WhatsApp Transfer, which allows you to transfer your chat history, photos, videos, and other media from an iPhone to an Android device with ease.

6. Verify the Data:

   • Once the restoration process is complete, verify that all your chats, media, and other data have been successfully transferred to your new Android phone.

By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth transition of your WhatsApp data from an iPhone to an Android device. Always remember to keep your backups updated for future transfers or restorations.
