1. Backup Your Chats:

   • Open WhatsApp on your old phone.

   • Tap Next when you see the option to restore your chats and allow WhatsApp to access your Google Drive or iCloud account.

Additional Tips:

• Ensure both phones are connected to a stable Wi-Fi network during backup and restore processes for faster and smoother transfers.
• If you're switching from an Android phone to an iPhone or vice versa, note that WhatsApp does not support direct transfer of chat history between different operating systems. However, you can use third-party apps or services designed for cross-platform data transfer.

By following these steps meticulously, you can successfully transfer all your WhatsApp chats to your new phone without losing any important conversations or media.
