Hello,

This article will show you how to make the switch from Android to iOS easily:

Move from Android to iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

You can also choose to transfer WhatsApp data.

Below is an explanation from Macworld's website that also explains how it works and what exactly is needed.

There are a few things you’ll require before being able to make the transfer.

On your Android phone:

Android 5 or above
Move to iOS app
WhatsApp version 2.22.7.74 or later
Connected to a power source
Connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone (or connected to the iPhone’s hotspot)

On your iPhone:

iOS 15.5 or later
WhatsApp version 2.22.10.70 or later
The same phone number as your Android phone (same SIM)
iPhone must be factory reset or new, as it needs to connect to Move to iOS app on Android
Connected to a power source
Connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the Android phone (or using its hotspot with the Android device)

been trying with whats app beta 2.22.15.5 but unfortunately whats app still doesn’t show up in move to iOS.

Samsung S10 with Android 12 and new iPhone 13 pro with iOS15.5.

Last chance is to try a different architecture like the one you highlighted (which I probably did but don’t remember) or this old version that worked for you.

On your iPhone:

At the same time?

How can I have new or factory reset Iphone with WhatsApp installed?

and just to be clear WhatsApp will be automatically installed once everything is successfully completed/finished (move to ios…etc) if you opt to install the same apps you had on android or you could simply install whatsapp from app store after everything is finished.

It is strange that in my case with Samsung S10 and beta version is not working. Tried also with my S21 Plus. So there must be something else also. What language/region are you using?

No, just WhatsApp Messenger. No dual sim, no business version. Maybe has something to do with "we are slowly rolling out".

No apps could be installed on a factory reset so you need to ignore that. It’s straight forward otherwise.

Thank you so much. I managed to make it work.
