Pick your transfer route
Every combination works differently. Choose yours — each page compares every method that actually works.
How it works
Three steps. No resets.
- 01
Connect both phones
Plug your Android and iPhone into any Windows PC or Mac with the cables you already own.
- 02
Preview your chats
ChatSwitch reads the source WhatsApp database and shows your full history — free, before you pay anything.
- 03
Transfer
One click converts and writes everything into WhatsApp on the new phone. Your other apps, photos and settings stay untouched.
No factory reset
Move to iOS erases your iPhone if it's already set up. ChatSwitch never asks you to wipe anything.
Zero data loss
Chats, photos, videos, voice notes and documents move together — attachments included, oldest messages intact.
Works after setup
Your new phone has been in your pocket for two weeks? Fine. Transfer into WhatsApp exactly as it is.
Local & private
Everything is processed on your own computer over USB. Your conversations never touch a server.
Android ↔ iPhone
Both directions, any brands — no Samsung/Pixel-only restrictions, no Smart Switch dependency.
Google Drive restore
Old phone dead? Read the WhatsApp backup straight out of Google Drive and land it on the new phone.

Read →Frequently asked questions
Officially, no — Move to iOS requires erasing the iPhone. The only no-reset routes are WhatsApp's QR-based chat transfer (rolling out gradually) and desktop transfer tools like ChatSwitch, which write the converted data directly into WhatsApp on a phone that's already in daily use.
