If it's one android phone to the other it's possible.

But from android to iPhone it won't be possible. The best you can do is email yourself the archive of your messages and start afresh.

With this being said, note that it is the message that cannot be ported over. You will still be in the groups that you were in previously just that all your previous messages will be empty

I don't think that you can transfer from android to iPhone ...

I am going to change to a new iPhone.

So how to transfer whatsapp message from old iPhone to a new iPhone ?

I remember previously when I changed to a new iPhone, only the whatsapp groups (without messages) that I created were copied over ...

Thanks

U can backup to icloud in watsapp..

Ok thanks a million for the tips ...

How much iCloud space do we have ?

It says:"Couldn't complete backup because there's not enough space. Make sure you have 2.8gb"

And how can we purchase space in iClouds ? Is it expensive ?

Thanks

It is possible. I have done it quite a few times. Android to iOS and vice versa.

You need a paid software, which is the only one that works. All other methods don't work at all or don't work as well.

Search backuptrans WhatsApp Android to iOS and you'll find it

5gb is free for everyone, but most likely your photos takes up plenty of them. and a lot of people send you video or image via whatsapp, your whatsapp might be huge too.

$1.28/month for 50gb of iCloud. I won't say it is expensive, afterall it sync up my iphone, ipad and mac.

to purchase, you can go to Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage > iCloud Manage Storage > Change Storage Plan

From there you can choose which plan you want.

possible to subscribe for a month, transfer all data already then cancel the 50gb icloud?

i wish so but sometime it just isn't possible especially when all your friends refuse to move over to other options. i have clients that are using whatsapp and they are the group of people that i can't request them to use other options.

personally i prefer facebook messenger and telegram. in fact i have so many chat app installed before of everyone using different one. like wechat, line, groupme, etc

I don't know about backup to iCloud. I use Mac iTune to backup old iPhone then restore into new iPhone. Everything will go over including game saves, SMS and whatsapp messages. My friends using PC do it in the same way.

Backuptrans key for PC (Windows)

I have a key for Backuptrans Android WhatsApp to iPhone Transfer, for PC version.
Selling for S$12 to share cost and not to make profit.
I managed to do the transfer after a few tries.
Note:

1) Please do your own research on how to do it.
2) I cannot guarantee the software will work for you since i also took the risk and bought it at full price. Only succeeded after a few tries as you have to follow step by step.
3) Please check that you meet the system requirements etc.

PM me if you are interested. Thanks.:)
