How to Transfer WhatsApp from iPhone to Android via Email
If you don’t want to use tools to transfer all your WhatsApp from iPhone to Android (or vice versa), the only option left for you is to send messages in text format via email . That means you won’t be able to see them as chat in the WhatsApp app, like you would if you use a specialized tool, but at least you’ll be able to read the messages on any device (even without the app).
To transfer your WhatsApp messages from Android to iPhone by mail, you just have to do this:
- Open the WhatsApp chat that you want to send to your other mobile.
- Click on the three dots in the upper right corner.
- Go to More > Export chat .
- Select Gmail or your mail app.
- Send the chat to your email address .
That’s it! Now you just have to open your email on the other mobile, download the sent chat and that’s it. The main disadvantage of this method is that the transferred chat is a text file that you can see in your browser or document app, but not in WhatsApp. Also, you can only pass one chat at a time this way. So if you have a lot of chats, this is the most tedious way to transfer them to other phones.
What is the best way to transfer your WhatsApp messages from iPhone to Android? Well, with a tool like iCareFone WhatsApp Transfer. Believe us that it is the simplest and most convenient method, since it only takes a few minutes and the chats will be completely transferred to the new mobile.
