🏷️Part 2. How to Transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone Without Move to iOS via Email

Apart from a third-party transfer tool, you can also take advantage of the Email chat to send WhatsApp messages or media files through Email. Generally speaking, Email is a powerful service that people are accustomed to using to move photos, files, music, messages, and even videos.

When you're ready, you can perform the following steps to copy WhatsApp data from one device to another using Email chat:

Step 1. Launch WhatsApp on your Android device.

Step 2. Go to Settings> Chats.

Step 3. Select Chat history to continue.

Step 4. Then tap on Export chat.

Step 5. You are expected to select the messages you want to transfer. (You can also select media files if prompted.)

Step 6. Tap Gmail/Email on the SHARE screen.

Step 7. Finish the basic info of this email that would be sent to yourself. Then tap "Send" to export WhatsApp messages with Email.

🏷️Part 3. Can I Transfer WhatsApp from Google Drive to iCloud

The answer is NO. It's infeasible to restore WhatsApp on iPhone seamlessly with Google Drive backup. As we know, Android users are allowed to back up WhatsApp to Google Drive, while iOS users can store the chat history in iCloud instead. As you can see, the WhatsApp backup files on Google Drive can't be identified and restored to iCloud.

But it's a good idea to introduce a third-party tool to restore WhatsApp from Google Drive backup to iPhone. And EaseUS is working on this service, so stay tuned!

🏷️Part 4. Why Move to iOS Not Working for WhatsApp Transfer

To be honest, Move to iOS is not the best way to transfer WhatsApp chat from Android to iPhone. This mobile app is developed by Apple Inc., capable of moving Android data when you tend to switch from Android to new iPhone. That is to say, this transfer app is not exclusively designed to transfer WhatsApp data and the transfer success rate is not very high.
