How to transfer WhatsApp contacts to another tablet - in detail?

Transferring WhatsApp contacts to another tablet can be a straightforward process if you follow the correct steps. Here is a detailed guide to help you through the process:

  1. Backup Your WhatsApp Contacts: Before transferring your contacts, you need to create a backup of your existing WhatsApp data. This includes your messages, media, and contacts.

    • Open WhatsApp on your current tablet.
    • Go to the menu (three dots in the top-right corner) and select "Settings."
    • Tap on "Chats" and then choose "Chat Backup."
    • Follow the prompts to back up your data to Google Drive. Make sure you are connected to a stable Wi-Fi network during this process.

  2. Uninstall WhatsApp from Your Current Tablet: After creating the backup, uninstall WhatsApp from your current tablet to avoid any conflicts or synchronization issues.

  3. Set Up WhatsApp on the New Tablet:

    • Download and install WhatsApp from the Google Play Store on your new tablet.
    • Open WhatsApp and follow the initial setup instructions to verify your phone number. Use the same phone number that was associated with your old WhatsApp account.

  4. Restore Your Backup: During the setup process, you will be prompted to restore your chat history from Google Drive. If the prompt does not appear automatically, you can manually initiate the restoration process:

    • After verifying your phone number, you will see a message saying "Backup Found." Tap on the "Restore" button.
    • WhatsApp will start restoring your messages and media from Google Drive. This process may take some time depending on the size of your backup and the speed of your internet connection.

  5. Access Your Contacts: Once the restoration is complete, you should see all your contacts in your new WhatsApp account. If for any reason they do not appear immediately, try closing and reopening the app to refresh the contact list.

  6. Verify Contact Syncing: To ensure that your contacts are correctly synchronized with your tablet's address book:

    • Go to the "Contacts" app on your new tablet.
    • Verify that all your WhatsApp contacts are listed there. If any contacts are missing, you can manually add them or synchronize your contacts from another source like Google Contacts.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully transfer your WhatsApp contacts to a new tablet. Always remember to backup your data regularly to prevent loss of important information.
