whatsapp Transfer Whats App data.

[AliSot2000]

Hi there

 

I'm currently trying to set up an iPhone for my grandmother. She owns a very old Android Phone, with Android 3. As we tried to transfer her data with the "move to iOS" app on the Play Store, we ran into an issue. 

When trying to install the "move to iOS" app, it always ran into an error. Because I couldn't transfer her stuff with the app, I just set the iPhone up as a "new iPhone" and decided to transfer the files later.

 

This wasn't too much of a problem: emails, the calendar and the contacts could be transferred flawlessly. But the Whatsapp chats turned out to be much harder.

After talking to her, we've decided to move all the Whatsapp photos and videos to her computer and copy only the Chat histories.

 

I've tried to transfer the history with Google Drive, but I wasn't able to. The iPhone couldn't download the fresh Backup from Google Drive. And because the files are hidden on Google Drive, I can't easily download them to implant them into the iCloud Drive. 

 

After that, I tried to download the Chats from the local storage of the Android phone, give them a new name. I basically did the reverse of what the FAQ page of Whatsapp is saying.

Rename the backup file you want to restore from msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12 to msgstore.db.crypt12. It's possible that an earlier backup may be on an earlier protocol, such as crypt9 or crypt10. Don't change the number of the crypt extension.

 

The new file, I copied into iCloud Drive.

But upon activating Whatsapp on the iPhone the Backup file didn't show up. 

 

Has somebody a clue how I could possibly synchronize these Chats? (If possible without any additional software.)

It would be great if somebody knew how the Backup of Whatsapp is stored on iCloud Drive.

 

Thanks for your help

The following process allows you to share an entire conversation. Please note, though, that the conversation will be shared in a text file (`.txt`).

1. In WhatsApp's home screen, long press on a conversation until the contextual menu pops up.
2. Select “E-mail conversation”.
3. Choose an e-mail application to share to (Gmail usually works quite well). You should now see an e-mail with multiple files: a `.txt` file with the conversation itself and, optionally, all media files from the conversation.
4. Save the e-mail as a draft. (You don't have to send it to anyone.)
5. Download the `.txt` attachment.
6. Go to WhatsApp and open the conversation that you'd like to share your earlier conversation with.
7. Tap the attachment icon to share a file and then choose “Document”.
8. Locate the file you downloaded at step 5 and choose it. It should then be shared with the conversation.
9. You can now delete the draft you created at step 4.
