   • During the initial setup of your new iPhone, when prompted to transfer data from your old phone, select 'Android'. This will guide you through the process of setting up your iPhone and installing any necessary apps.
   • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process. This may include logging into your Apple ID and setting up Face ID or Touch ID.

4. Transfer Your Data:

   • After completing the initial setup, you will be prompted to use the 'Move to iOS' app on your Android device. If not prompted, manually download and install the 'Move to iOS' app from the Google Play Store.
   • Open the 'Move to iOS' app on your Android device and follow the instructions to connect both devices via a direct Wi-Fi connection.
   • You will be asked to enter a code displayed on your iPhone into the 'Move to iOS' app on your Android device. This code is unique to your setup process.

5. Select WhatsApp Data:

   • After connecting, you will see a list of data types that can be transferred to your new iPhone. Ensure that 'WhatsApp' is selected.
   • Tap 'Next' and wait for the transfer process to complete. The duration depends on the amount of data being transferred.

6. Restore WhatsApp Data:

   • Once the transfer is complete, finish setting up your iPhone and open WhatsApp.
   • WhatsApp will prompt you to restore your chat history from the backup created earlier. Tap 'Start' or 'Next' when prompted.
   • Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your phone number and complete the restoration process. This may involve verifying your number via SMS or a phone call.

7. Finalize the Transfer:

   • After verification, WhatsApp will begin restoring your messages and media from the backup. This process might take some time depending on the size of your chat history.
   • Once complete, you can access all your WhatsApp messages on your new iPhone.

By following these steps carefully, you can successfully transfer all your WhatsApp messages from an Android device to an iPhone without any data loss.
