Besides, there is no other way except to rely on 3rd-party providers, as there is no WhatsApp-supported method to do it.

Let’s go through the process sequentially, and see how it works.
Android to iPhone WhatsApp Transfer With a PC
Step 1: Download and install a suitable application for your computer OS. Please note that the applications are different for Windows and Mac, and the license purchased for one won’t work on the other.
Step 2: Connect both phones via USB cables to the PC. Make sure the USB debugging is turned on the Android device.
Take note of the ‘Source’ and ‘Destination’ mentioned above on each device and click Flip in the center top to interchange.
Subsequently, verify the data segments to transfer and uncheck to skip any specific type.
Step 3, click on Start and respond to any pop-ups accordingly. Shortly, you will see something similar upon successful completion:
Still, there is another method to do it, and you won’t need a PC for it.
Android to iPhone WhatsApp Transfer Without a PC
This method for a phone-to-phone data switch requires a connector. In this case, you’ll need a USB to Lightning cable for transferring WhatsApp data between Andriod and iOS.
Step 1: Get MobileTrans App from Google Play Store. Complete the installation and launch the program on your phone.
Step2: Start by connecting both the devices and open MobileTrans on the Android.
Make sure WhatsApp is selected in the Choose transfer APP and is also installed on the iPhone. Afterward, click the Android to iPhone tab.
Step 3: You’ll be asked about the backup version being used in the transfer. Check that out and manually backup the latest data before proceeding.
Step 4: Enter the WhatsApp-linked cell number, followed by the verification code. It’ll also ask for the PIN if the two-step verification is enabled.
Once you get through this, the user interface will show the available text, video, audio, etc., to initiate the transfer.
Step 5: Choose to connect with the USB to the lightning cable, login into the iPhone WhatsApp application, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the transfer.
So these were the two methods that make it effortless to transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone.
