Transferring WhatsApp from Android (Huawei) to iPhone

"For future reference, this is an Apple community, meaning that this is not the place for issues related to non-Apple stuff."

Honestly people can be so needlessly aggressive. I am quite certain the poor person is trying to switch from Android to an iphone (as I am) and is just hoping that some kind person at Apple or somewhere might have a painless way of accomplishing this task. Surley it is in Apple's interest to help folks that wish to do this as it sells and supports more iphone users. Then again maybe it might be best to have android users permanently banned from buying Apple products.

For future reference, this is an Apple community, meaning that this is not the place for issues related to non-Apple stuff.

I may be mistaken, but I'm sure there's a backup feature on WhatsApp. The first few steps on the official website should help: https://faq.whatsapp.com/android/chats/how-to-restore-your-chat-history/?lang=en

I'm pretty sure you can then log in on your iPhone using the same log-in information. I'm not too familiar with how WhatsApp works, to be honest. I hope my reply helps to some extent.

Hi GoneDiving,

I am very sorry my reply came across as rude. I certainly didn’t mean for that. I try to answer questions as respectfully as possible whilst trying to remain professional.

Just to clarify, I don’t work for Apple. Most users on the Apple Support Communities don’t. Those with a special coloured nametag such as ‘Community Moderator’, on the other hand, do.

Apple Support Communities is a place where consumers of Apple can receive assistance from fellow Apple users and fans. To receive support directly from Apple, one should contact Apple Support.

Apologies again,

Jay (they/them)
