1. Backup Your Messages:

   • Open WhatsApp on your iPhone.

   • Install WhatsApp on your new phone from the App Store (Android) or Google Play Store (iPhone).
   • During the setup process, WhatsApp will ask if you want to restore your chat history.
   • Tap Restore and wait for the process to complete. This step transfers your messages and media from iCloud to your new phone.

4. Verify Your Phone Number:

   • After restoring the backup, WhatsApp will prompt you to verify your phone number.
   • Enter your phone number and follow the verification steps via SMS or call.

5. Restore Media (Optional):

   • If you want to restore media files that were not backed up to iCloud due to storage limitations, you can do so manually:
     • Go to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup.
     • Tap on the backup you just restored.
     • You will see an option to Include Media. Select this and wait for the media files to be included in your backup.

6. Complete Setup:

   • Once the restoration is complete, WhatsApp will display your chat history.
   • Double-check that all messages and media have been transferred successfully.

By following these steps, you can easily transfer your WhatsApp messages from an iPhone to another phone, ensuring that none of your important conversations are lost in the process.
