Prepare Your Backup:
Ensure your old phone has a recent Google Drive (Android) or iCloud (iPhone) backup.
For Android: Go to WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Chat Backup and tap Back Up.
For iPhone: Navigate to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup and select Back Up Now.
Install WhatsApp on the New Phone:
Download WhatsApp from the Play Store (Android) or App Store (iPhone).
Verify Your Number:
Open WhatsApp and enter the same phone number used for the backup.
Restore from Backup:
When prompted, tap Restore to retrieve chats from Google Drive or iCloud.
Wait for the process to complete—do not close the app.
Post-Restoration Steps:
If media files are missing, check WhatsApp/Media in your phone’s file manager (Android) or ensure iCloud storage isn’t full (iPhone).
For local backups (Android only), manually copy the msgstore.db.crypt12 file from /sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases to the new device before verification.
Note:
Use the same Google/iCloud account linked to the backup.
For large backups, connect to Wi-Fi and keep the screen on.
