How to transfer WhatsApp from iPhone to Android saving chat history and files without a computer - in detail?

To transfer WhatsApp from an iPhone to an Android device while preserving chat history and media files without using a computer, you can follow these detailed steps:

1. Backup WhatsApp Data on Your iPhone:

   • Open the WhatsApp application on your iPhone.
   • Navigate to 'Settings' by tapping on the gear icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
   • Select 'Chats.'
   • Tap on 'Chat Backup.' This will initiate a backup of your chat history, which includes messages and media files such as photos and videos. Ensure you have an active internet connection during this process.

2. Set Up Your Android Device:

   • Before transferring WhatsApp, ensure that your new Android device is set up with a SIM card. This step is crucial because WhatsApp verifies your phone number during the setup process.
   • Install WhatsApp on your Android device from the Google Play Store if it’s not already installed.

3. Restore WhatsApp Data to Your Android Device:

   • After installing WhatsApp on your Android device, open the app.
   • During the initial setup, you will be prompted to 'Agree and Continue' with the Terms of Service.
   • You will then see an option to restore your chat history. Tap on 'Restore.'
   • WhatsApp will ask for permission to access your Google Drive backup if available. Since this process does not involve a computer, ensure that you have backed up your data using iCloud and are now restoring it directly to the Android device.
   • Follow the prompts to allow WhatsApp to access your backup data. This may include granting necessary permissions for the app to read and write files on your device.

4. Complete the Setup:

   • Once the restoration process is complete, you will see all your chat history, including messages and media files, in your new WhatsApp setup on the Android device.
   • Verify that all your important conversations and attached files have been successfully transferred.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly transfer your WhatsApp data from an iPhone to an Android device while preserving your chat history and media files without the need for a computer.
