1. Hello,

I have bought a new iPhone 15 Pro Max. I was using Android and wanted to move the WhatsApp back up to new phone. Problem is not able to see backup while installing WhatsApp in new iPhone, Steps followed.

Using a Brand new iPhone

2. Created WhatsApp back up in Android phone.

3. Used iOS (Move iOS) application in Android to move the backup to iPhone

4. After restoring in new iPhone it showed (in iOS) as what all content backed up. It inlcudes 52 GB what's app back up.

5. Installed WhatsApp in new iPhone.

6. Wile configuring whatsapp in new iPhone it is showing NO BACK UP found it iCloud.

I have 52 GB backed up What'sAPP data, but in new iPhone, iCloud data (free only 5 GB).

Would like to know, is it because of the size of my WhatsApp backup?

If required how can I get more space and get all the backups?

It will be a really great help, if some one provide an update?

Go to your icloud settings on your phone - manage account storage - change storage plan - buy more icloud storage.

Still have issue with the backup, then report your issue to whatsapp https://www.whatsapp.com/contact

I cloud backs up everything on your WhatsApp timeline. What is mostly contained is pictures and videos. If you want to keep the pictures I suggest you save them from your Android somewhere else, and then proceed to back up ONLY your texts. Then restore your texts.

I recently had about 25GB of Whataspp junk backed up (mostly pictures) and I decided just to transfer the text messages which turn out to be 2MB of data. I did save some pictures individually.

If this doesn't work for you, you will need to buy some more iCloud storage as razemee has pointed out
