How to transfer a group from Viber to WhatsApp on your phone - in detail?

Transferring a group from Viber to WhatsApp can be accomplished with a few simple steps, ensuring that you retain all the important conversations and contacts. Here's a detailed guide to help you through the process:

1. Backup Your Viber Group: Before starting the transfer, it is crucial to back up your Viber group chat. This step will ensure that none of the messages or media are lost during the transition.

   • Open Viber and go to the group chat you want to transfer.
   • Tap on the three dots (⋮) in the top right corner to access the menu.
   • Select "More" and then choose "Export Chat". You will be prompted to select the contacts whose messages you want to save. Choose all participants if you want a complete backup.
   • The chat history will be saved as a .txt file on your device.

2. Create a New WhatsApp Group: Now that your Viber group is backed up, you can proceed to create a new group in WhatsApp.

   • Open WhatsApp and tap on the three dots (⋮) or the chat icon in the bottom right corner to access the menu.
   • Select "New Group".
   • Add all the participants from your Viber group into this new WhatsApp group by selecting them from your contacts list.

3. Send the Backup to WhatsApp: The next step involves sending the backed-up chat history to the newly created WhatsApp group.

   • Open the .txt file containing your Viber group chat history. You can do this by navigating to the folder where you saved it (usually in the "Documents" or "Downloads" folder on your phone).
   • Select all the text within the file and copy it.
   • Go back to WhatsApp, open the new group you created, and paste the copied chat history into the message box.
   • Send the message to the group. This will ensure that all the conversation history is now available in your WhatsApp group.

4. Verify and Organize: Finally, verify that all messages have been successfully transferred and organize them if necessary.

   • Scroll through the chat history in your WhatsApp group to ensure that everything from the Viber group has been copied over correctly.
   • If needed, you can format the text or add any missing media (such as images or videos) by sending them directly within the WhatsApp group.

By following these steps, you will have successfully transferred your Viber group to WhatsApp, preserving all important conversations and ensuring a smooth transition for all members of the group.
