Transfer Backup Whatsapp From Android To Iphone
Kevin
If all your WhatsApp chats are on the Android Device and have not taken a chat backup then... Please use --> Move from Android to iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple ... Select WhatsApp App while selecting which data you want to get moved from an Android to iOS.
WhatsApp Chat backed on any Cloud Drive may not get fetched. The Move process cannot extract data from Google Drive or any other Drive where the chat backups are stored using an Android device, I presume iCloud Drive is not one of them. My experience says you can't transfer the WhatsApp Backup which was done using an Android because on Android, WhatsApp, chat history is not stored on iCloud, on iOS it is.
That may be possible with third-party software. Warning!; WhatsApp data through third-party software has the risk of data being compromised. Because the data will be churned through third-party servers, which may or may not be encrypted. Be judicious while selecting the software and taking this call.
If you had enabled WhatsApp Chat backup then I am sorry you may need to contact the app developer here --> App Support or WhatsApp FAQ Or Restoring your chat history - WhatsApp FAQ or Contact WhatsApp
here is what I did to get past this error. After retrying several times, instead of cancelling the transfer, I restarted iPhone using the power and volume buttons. Once the iPhone restarted, I opened WhatsApp again and the import page showed up again. i clicked on Start button to start the import process again. And this time import quickly moved from 0 to 40% and then it started progressing. Attached the screenshot in this response
currently i am facing the same issue.. moving messages stuck at exactly 40%. Anyone got the solution?? I have tried waiting for 2-3 days .. many restarts could not solve this problem. I dont want to loose the whatsapp data
Facing the exact same issue... contacted whatsapp support and they asked me to get in touch with apple support. Its really frustrating as to why everything works well and takes hours together but the last step of moving chat history gets stuck at 40! Kindly provide a solution that works!!!
New iphone user here. Just got a 15 pro max and was consistently getting this error for 2-3 times after factory resetting the phone several times . It was so important to transfer years of my android whatsapp chat history and not being able to do this made me think of returning iphone and continue using android. After I did a restart as mentioned, the issue was fixed and all my chat history was transferred. Thankyou so much for sharing this quick fix.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with overcoming the WhatsApp chat import issue! Your tip about restarting the iPhone turned out to be a lifesaver for me. I was stuck at the 40% mark with the "unknown error" message and couldn't figure out what to do. After reading your message, I decided to give the restart a shot, and it worked like a charm!
I am in progress of resolution but I have found a way round the issue. Background, I was previously iOS a few years ago, I also received the error at 40%. When I cancelled and retried I was being asked to restore from an old icloud WhatsApp backup from 5 years ago.
I too had the same problem, It was struck at 40%. I have updated Iphone 14pro to the latest version i.e. 16.5.1 and reset the iphone. Tried the same process Move to IOS on my Android phone, and this time it worked. Got all WhatsApp data to the iPhone.
Something went wrong while my iphone was moving chat from android after restarting a reset iphone. It happened at 38% importing progress. Is there any solution to this? Plenty of battery on both devices which were on same 5G wifi. I have been trying the migration for the last 2 years. it never works. It is the closest I could get. Before it had no clue to look for the WhatsApp database. This is very frustrating and I have been carrying an Android phone for Whatsapp in addition to the new iphone for 2 years.
Are you talking about the same error that we faced during whatsapp chat imports? How did you workaround with that error? What next steps did you follow to fully transfer your chats? Any help around this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Actually, I tried the process ( backup from Android using "Move to iOS", resetting iPhone, transfer the backup to iphone and then whatsapp restore on iPhone ) a number of times. It now asks me to wait for 12 hours for the verification code...another issue !!!

Are you switching from Android phone to an iPhone and searching for how to migrate WhatsApp data from Android to iPhone? This guide will share 6 methods to transfer WhatsApp chats from Android to iPhone (iPhone 15 included).
When switching an Android to a new iPhone, one of the most serious things is to transfer your WhatsApp chat to your new iPhone. Since Android and iPhone run different operating systems, transferring WhatsApp chat history is currently only available for moving from an iPhone to a new Samsung device. Then, is there any way to move my WhatsApp from Android to iPhone?
Here you will get 6 efficient ways. You can migrate WhatsApp data from Android to iPhone without backup, or restore Google Drive backup to iPhone. Also, you can learn the way to transfer WhatsApp without a PC. Keep reading and find an easy way for you.
With the official announcement of WhatsApp to support migrating WhatsApp chats from Android to iPhone free, users now can use the Move to iOS App to transfer WhatsApp chat history, photos, videos, and voice messages from Android to iPhone freely with the same phone number. However, there are some limitations you need to be aware of.
Best of all, you only need 3 clicks on the AnyTrans icon to complete the entire data transfer process. So AnyTrans is recommended by our users and proves to be quite labor-saving to move WhatsApp from Android/iPhone to iPhone.
If you have backed up WhatsApp data on Google Drive, then you can also transfer WhatsApp backup from Google Drive to iPhone via AnyTrans. It helps the users who change Android to iPhone, or who can not restore WhatsApp from Google Drive.
As we said, transferring WhatsApp messages from Android to iOS is not officially supported. Why? This is because Android uses Google Drive to store WhatsApp backups, but WhatsApp backups on an iPhone are stored in iCloud. This makes it impossible to transfer across the platforms. So we have to rely on third-party apps like AnyTrans we mentioned in Part 1 to do this.
Absolutely not, with the methods that we provided above, you can transfer WhatsApp between Android and iPhone, between two Android phones or two iPhones. No matter whether you had a Google Drive WhatsApp backup or not, no data will be erased during the process.
Besides, if you change phones with different numbers, the Change Number feature of WhatsApp allows you to keep WhatsApp account information, including profile photo, name, about, individual chats, group chats, and settings. And, you can use the feature to inform your contacts about your new phone number:
To transfer WhatsApp to a new phone with the same number, which is applied for the same OS, you just need to download WhatsApp on your new phone and register the same phone number. WhatsApp account information will be updated automatically. You can restore all the WhatsApp conversations easily for the same OS.
While switching phones, there is no direct way to migrate WhatsApp chat across the systems, but with the help of the above guide, you should be able to easily transfer WhatsApp data from Android to iPhone without a hitch. If you want a full-way data transfer and management tool when changing Android to iPhone, AnyTrans is the better one to choose. It can transfer 21+ Android files to the iPhone, including WhatsApp chats, photos, contacts, videos, messages, etc.
