Best way to transfer whatsapp chats from iphone to android phone?

This is the direct, official tool developed by Google and Apple to transfer WhatsApp Chats from iPhone to Android . It's free, secure, and designed for your exact situation. It works for many new Android phones, including Samsung devices.

Crucial Requirement: This method only works during the initial setup of a new Android phone or after a factory reset . If you've already set up your S26, you would need to reset it to use this method.

What You'll Need:

• Your iPhone (running iOS 15.5 or later)
• Your new, not-yet-set-up Samsung Galaxy S26
• The same Wi-Fi network for both phones
• The same phone number active in both devices
• The "Move to iOS" app downloaded on your iPhone (a confusing name, but it's the correct one for moving to Android)

How to Transfer WhatApps Chats from iPhone to Android Phone:

1. During your Samsung S26's setup, when you reach the "Copy apps & data" screen, select the option to transfer data from an iPhone.

2. On your iPhone, open the "Move to iOS" app and follow the prompts to connect to your Samsung phone using a code displayed on the Samsung's screen.

3. When asked what data to transfer, select WhatsApp.

4. The transfer will begin. Once it's complete, finish setting up your Samsung, install WhatsApp from the Play Store, and verify your number. You should see a prompt to restore your chats from the local transfer.
