This procedure will initiate the upload of all your data to the cloud. The duration will depend on your internet speed. Once the process completes, you can restore the saved backup on the device you’re transitioning to, where you’ll see a “search for backup” option and then select “restore backup.” That’s it! All your chat history and media files are now securely saved on your new device.

This WhatsApp feature is compatible only with Android-to-Android or iPhone-to-iPhone transfers.
