The trouble is that once you are in one particular operating system, it can be very difficult to move out of it because so many of your apps have been set up to recognize and talk to only your Android system. The two apps that are the most difficult and complicated in this respect are Viber and WhatsApp. These two messaging apps have completely changed the way we communicate with the people around us, perhaps forever, and have made it possible for simple messages as well as complex items such as images, videos, and other files to be easily transferred from one smartphone to another. Fortunately, you can use Apple’s ‘Move to iOS’ app to transfer contacts, text messages, camera videos, photos and other content from your old Android to the new iPhone, but how would you transfer your Viber or WhatsApp chat conversations from your Android to your new iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus?

(a). How to Transfer Android WhatsApp Chats to iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus

Before transferring WhatsApp messages from Android to your new iOS device, make sure you have iTunes 12 or later installed on your computer and USB Debugging enabled on your Android device. To enable the USB Debugging mode on your Android, go to "Settings", tap "About Device", tap on the "Build Number" 7 times to unlock developer mode and then again go to Settings > More > Developer Options and enable USB Debugging. Now download the Android WhatsApp to iPhone Transfer software and follow the steps below:

 

 

1. Step 1: Connect your Android device to your computer
2. After installing the software onto your computer, connect your Android smartphone to your computer using the USB cable.

 

Note: Make sure the WhatsApp app is installed on your Android device and that your mobile number is verified as well.

 

1. Step 2: Tap "Back up my data" on your Android
2. A small message will appear on your old Android smartphone’s screen. You should choose ‘Back up my data' without entering any password. You should then go back to your computer and select ‘OK’. The software will now be able to access all of your WhatsApp messages on your old Android smartphone, and you will be able to look through them in the window.

 

Note: If your Android device is running on Marshmallow 6.0.1 or later and you see a "can't read pre-installed WhatsApp Messenger data on your Android" error, please check this article first before you follow the next steps.

 

 

Step 3: Connect your iPhone to your computer

Install WhatsApp on your iPhone 7/7 Plus and verify it using your number. Now unlock your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus and connect it to your computer. The software will instantly recognize your iPhone and you'll be able to see it on its main interface.

 

Note: If you have single SIM card for both Android and iPhone, keep the SIM card in your Android device and receive the verification SMS/call with the verification code on your Android. Now you can use this verification code on your iPhone when WhatsApp asked you to verify your number while installing the WhatsApp on your iPhone. But, make sure that you don't uninstall the WhatsApp app from your Android device at any point.

You can also go to File and then choose 'Transfer Messages from Android to iPhone'.
