How to Transfer WhatsApp Messages to New iPhone

Some of us prefer to use WhatsApp over other messaging apps such as Telegram or even iMessage. Over time, WhatsApp will store a lot of data on your iPhone, such as photos, videos, message, voice messages, and so on. When you buy a new iPhone, you cannot afford to lose all these precious data.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you the two different methods of transferring your WhatsApp messages to a new iPhone.

The first method involves using iCloud to transfer your messages from one iPhone to another. First, you’ll backup your WhatsApp on iCloud using your old iPhone and then restore them on your new iPhone. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1: On your old iPhone, open Settings and tap on your name at the top.

Step 2: Tap on iCloud.

Step 3: Toggle on iCloud Drive. Below it, you’ll find a list of all the apps that back up their data to iCloud. Find WhatsApp and make sure that it is toggled on.

Step 4: Now open WhatsApp and go to the Settings tab.

Step 5: Open Chats > Chat Backup.

Step 6: Press the Back Up Now button. WhatsApp will begin backing up all your data to iCloud. Make sure that you have enough iCloud storage to complete the operation.

Step 7: Once the backup has been completed, sign into your Apple ID on the new iPhone.

Step 8: Download and install WhatsApp on your new iPhone. After you verify your phone number, WhatsApp will ask if you want to restore your iCloud backup. Tap on Restore to begin transferring all your WhatsApp messages, media files, and other data to your new iPhone. This may take some time depending on how large the backup data is.
