Transfer WhatsApp Data Between Android and iDevice
So let’s say you’re upgrading to a new iPhone or Android smartphone and you absolutely must have all your WhatsApp history put on the new device.
This can be done easily using iCareFone to transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone.
First, you should download and install iCareFone for WhatsApp Transfer, then connect both Android and iPhone to the computer.

Pick the Source and Destination, then go ahead and click on the ‘Transfer’ button at the bottom.
A confirmation pop-up may appear that says data may be overwritten. To proceed, click on Yes. iCareFone for WhatsApp Transfer will then begin to back up data from the Source device, which may take a while depending on the size.
You will be asked to verify your WhatsApp account so it can be transferred to the Target device. Add in your phone number and country code, then click on ‘Verify’. You will receive a verification code on the Target device, which needs to be put on the Target device in order to proceed.
Do everything right and you’ll be rewarded with a ‘generating data that can be restored…’ screen. Afterwards the software will automatically transfer the WhatsApp data to the Target device.
