Switching to a brand new phone is exciting, but the process of transferring data from the old device to the new one can become frustrating without the proper set of tools. For example, attempting to transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone can often be a very confusing task.Normally, users who want to transfer data between iOS, Android & Windows Phone would rely on solutions provided by their handset’s manufacturer. Samsung’s Smart Switch makes the adoption of a new Galaxy phone a lot easier than it would’ve been without it, but it doesn’t transfer data for every app that you may use. You’d think it would be easier transferring data from Android to Android. While the tech savvy users may be able to find their way around the different ways to go about this, most users still need assistance and would much rather prefer a simple software that gets the job done for them in a few clicks.WhatsApp is a very popular messaging app, yet it isn’t covered by Smart Switch. There are many third-party solutions out there but unfortunately, there are some solutions that are simply a money grab. They promise features that don’t exist and just try to fleece customers out of their hard-earned money.That just adds to the hassle when transferring WhatsApp data between two different operating systems is enough of a headache as it is. But there is one third-party solution that really does work as advertised and it can help with transferring WhatsApp data, and more. It’s developed by Wondershare and it’s called MobileTrans who happen to have a holiday sale going on as well.WhatsApp transfer still remains a daunting taskYou’d think that it would have become easier by now to transfer WhatsApp chats between devices, particularly between different mobile OS platforms. It couldn’t be further from the truth. While it’s easier to transfer WhatsApp from iPhone to iPhone and from Android to Android, users run into a roadblock when trying to move chats between the two most popular mobile platforms.Merely searching for ways to transfer chats between the platforms turns up so many workarounds that it can often make things more confusing, particularly for users who are not used to tinkering around with different software. One commonly used workaround is using the Email Chat option to transfer WhatsApp messages from Android to iPhone or vice versa.It requires individually selecting the WhatsApp chats you want to transfer and then emailing them to the other device, then logging into WhatsApp on the other device and finding that particular email. It’s an unnecessary hassle, one that most users can certainly do without.While it’s possible to do a backup of all WhatsApp data to the cloud on both platforms, there’s no way to sync the backups across iOS and Android. WhatsApp data that’s backed up to the cloud on an iPhone can’t be restored on an Android device. There’s really no workaround for this so while it may be fairly simple to transfer WhatsApp from iPhone to iPhone or Android to Android, it’s not that easy when the job involves moving data between the two operating systems.What is MobileTrans and how can it help me?MobileTrans is an app for Windows and macOS that allows you to transfer WhatsApp messages from Android to iPhone, from Android to Android, and even between iPhones with ease.
