1. Backup Your Data:

   • Open WhatsApp on your Android device.

   • Open the Move to iOS app on your Android device and tap Continue.
   • On your iPhone, look for the option that says "Move Data from Android" during the setup process and tap it.
   • Wait for a code to appear on your iPhone screen. Enter this code in the Move to iOS app on your Android device when prompted.
   • The Move to iOS app will transfer your WhatsApp data along with other content like contacts, messages, photos, and videos to your new iPhone.

4. Restore Your WhatsApp Data:

   • Once the transfer is complete, finish setting up your iPhone.
   • Download and install WhatsApp from the App Store on your iPhone.
   • Open WhatsApp and follow the prompts to set up your account using the same phone number as on your Android device.
   • When prompted, allow WhatsApp to access your iCloud backup. This will restore your chats, photos, and videos from the backup created during the transfer process.

5. Verify the Transfer:

   • After restoration, verify that all your WhatsApp data has been successfully transferred by checking your chat history, media files, and any other important information.

By following these steps, you can efficiently transfer your WhatsApp data from an Android device to an iPhone using a backup. This process ensures that none of your valuable conversations or multimedia content is lost during the transition.
