Then, begin the iPhone setup process as normal.
Tap Move data from Android when the Apps & Data setup screen appears.
Then, open the Move to iOS app on your Android device and follow the instructions on the screen.
On your iPhone, you should see a Move from Android screen. Once it appears, tap Continue and wait for a ten-digit or six-digit code to appear.
Once you get the code, enter it on your Android phone, select WhatsApp on the Transfer Data screen, then tap Start.
Wait for your WhatsApp data to be prepared for transfer.
Once your iPhone is functional, download WhatsApp from the App Store and sign in using the same phone number that you used on your Android phone.
