How to transfer WhatsApp to another phone while saving the chat history from Android to Android without Google - in detail?

To transfer WhatsApp to another phone while preserving your chat history from one Android device to another without using Google services, you can follow these detailed steps:

1. Backup Your Chats:

   • Open WhatsApp on your current Android phone.
   • Tap on the three dots (menu icon) in the top right corner and select "Settings."
   • Go to "Chats" and then click on "Chat Backup."
   • Ensure that your backup is not set to upload to Google Drive by checking the backup location. If it is, change it to local storage by selecting "Back up to local storage" if available or leave it unchanged.
   • Tap on "Backup" to create a manual backup of your chats. This will save your chat history to your phone's internal storage or an SD card (if available).

2. Prepare Your New Phone:

   • Ensure that your new Android device is set up and connected to the internet.
   • Install WhatsApp on your new phone from the Google Play Store.

3. Restore Your Chats:

   • Open WhatsApp on your new phone and follow the initial setup prompts.
   • When prompted, enter the same phone number that you used on your old device.
   • During the verification process, you will be asked if you want to restore a backup. Tap on "Restore" when it detects the backup file from your old device.

4. Transfer Backup File (if not detected automatically):

   • If WhatsApp does not automatically detect the backup file, you may need to manually transfer it:
     • Connect your old phone to a computer and copy the backup file from the "WhatsApp" folder located in your phone's internal storage or SD card. The folder is typically named msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.db.crypt12 where YYYY-MM-DD represents the date of the backup.
     • Transfer this file to your new phone using a USB cable, cloud service, or any other method you prefer.
   • Once the backup file is on your new phone, place it in the same "WhatsApp" folder located in your new phone's internal storage or SD card.

5. Restore from Backup File:

   • On your new phone, navigate to the WhatsApp settings by tapping on the three dots (menu icon) in the top right corner and selecting "Settings."
   • Go to "Chats" and then click on "Chat Backup."
   • Tap on "Restore" if prompted. If not, manually restore from the backup file you transferred earlier by following the restoration process mentioned above.

By following these steps, you can successfully transfer your WhatsApp chats from one Android device to another without relying on Google services. This method ensures that your chat history is preserved and accessible on your new phone.
