How can I Transfer Whatsapp Chats from iPhone to Android with Cable?

First up, make sure you have a compatible USB cable for connecting your iPhone to your Android (like a USB-C to Lightning cable). You’ll also need to download the Move to iOS app on your Android phone from the Google Play Store to help with the transfer.

Here's a quick rundown of what to do:

1. Start Fresh: On your Android phone, begin setting it up as a new device. You'll see an option to "Copy apps and data" – go for it!
2. Connect to iPhone: When prompted, choose to transfer data from an iPhone, then open the Move to iOS app on your Android.
3. Pair the Devices: You'll get a code on your Android phone. Enter this code on your iPhone.
4. Select Your Data: On your iPhone, select WhatsApp in the transfer data list, and hit continue.
5. Export Chats: Your iPhone will start prepping your WhatsApp data for transfer. Once it's ready, you'll get a prompt to continue on your Android.
6. Import on Android: Follow the instructions on your Android to complete the transfer. You might need to log into WhatsApp and verify your number.

Follow these steps to transfer your Whatsapp data from iPhone to Android:

Step 1: Backup your WhatsApp Data

Before you move your WhatsApp data from your iPhone to an Android device, it’s advisable to back up your data first. To do this, open WhatsApp on your iPhone and go to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup. Here, you can choose to backup your chats manually or set up automatic backups. Choose offline backup or online if you have a strong internet connection. 

Step 2: Download the latest WhatsApp version on your Android device

Download and install Whatsapp on your Android phone and start setting up the app. You’ll find an option that says “Transfer Whatsapp from another phone”. Select that option.

Step 3: Use the Lightning to USB-C cable to connect both phones

Connect both phones with the Lightning to USB-C cable, then go to your WhatsApp settings on your iPhone, tap the chat icon, then select “Move chats to Android”. 

Step 4: Move WhatsApp Data from iPhone to Android

After the previous step, you’ll see a notification of your data preparing to move. This may take some time depending on how large the data is. 

Afterwards, you should get a prompt to continue the setup on your Android phone.

NB: Your Android device needs to be on Android 12 or higher for you to use this process. Also note that during the data movement, you may be prompted to scan a QR code on your old phone, but don’t fret, it’s simply a security measure. So just follow the prompt and get it done.

You can try alternative methods that involve using cloud storage services like Google Drive or iCloud to back up your WhatsApp chats on the iPhone and then restore them on the Android device. However, note that these methods may not involve a direct cable transfer. Here are the general steps for using cloud storage services:

Back up your WhatsApp chats on your iPhone:

1: Open WhatsApp on your iPhone and go to Settings.

2: Select Chats -> Chat Backup -> Back Up Now.

3: Choose a cloud storage service like Google Drive or iCloud and complete the backup process.

Restore the WhatsApp chats on your Android device:

1: On your Android device, install WhatsApp and sign in with the same phone number you used on your iPhone.

2: WhatsApp will detect the backup on the cloud storage service and prompt you to restore it.

3: Follow the on-screen instructions to restore your chats.

While these methods may not involve a direct cable transfer, they provide a free option to transfer WhatsApp chats from iPhone to Android. Remember to check the documentation or guides provided by WhatsApp for detailed instructions on using their backup and restore features with specific cloud storage services.

Switching from iPhone to Android and keeping your WhatsApp chats intact can definitely be a bit tricky, but you've got this! Using a cable is a solid way to transfer your chats directly. Here’s a quick breakdown of how you can do it:

“Just nobody said that this program cost 50$, and for free trial it does not transfer whatsapp from one device to another one.”

The person posting that is most likely either an advertising bot or employee of the company advertising for the product.

I would avoid using it, seems fishy.
