NEW YORK, N.Y., Sep 23, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — iPhone 17 is making people excited, but how to transfer your WhatsApp data to the new one? In this guide from Tenorshare, I’ll walk you through how to transfer your WhatsApp from Android to an iPhone in 5 minutes.
HOW TO MOVE WHATSAPP FROM ANDROID TO AN IPHONE？
There are 2 simple, quick, and effective methods to switch your WhatsApp messages, images, and videos to an iPhone. One method requires factory resetting your iPhone, and the other does not. Let’s get started.
METHOD 1: TRANSFER WHATSAPP CHATS TO IPHONE 17 VIA MOVE TO IOS APP [FREE, BUT NEEDS RESET]
Using the Move to iOS app to transfer WhatsApp chats from Android to iPhone is Apple’s official free method and works best if you have a new iPhone 17 initial setup or don’t mind resetting the iPhone to factory settings. However, it requires the same phone number on both devices, and some data will be lost after resetting, or may not transfer completely.
Steps to use the Move to iOS APP:
Step 1. Install the Move to iOS app on Android.
Step 2. Enter the code, select WhatsApp to transfer.
Step 3. Then download WhatsApp on your new iPhone 17, sign in, and restore your chats.
