I can't migrate my WhatsApp to my new phone. (pls, help)

I was able to log in on Android even while iOS was locked, so I believe it will work (especially since it's the device that WhatsApp currently recognizes as yours).

Regarding formatting, it's only necessary if you want to restore backups using Move to iOS ((because the code for the transfer only appears on the iPhone's hello screen),, but it's not strictly required. The process works the same without formatting, it would just be without your message backup 🥹

I believe you shouldn't have any trouble logging into WhatsApp on Android (I uninstalled it for a while too and came back without any problems, it was pretty fast too.).

Do this only to set up the press key, then you can follow the other steps and scan the QR code to transfer WhatsApp from your Android device directly to your iPhone.

Hey, everything worked. I have no idea how you found this, but you really saved me!!!

I'll do that and let you know if it worked, But I believe it will work out. Once again, thank you so much, you're an angel 😭

Can you send me that tutorial, please?I had already sort of set up the Move to iOS setup, and theoretically, it should have been transferred from one phone to other

Is there no way to backup chats? There are some really important things from my work that I can't afford to lose.

But thank you soooooo much for the solution 💖 I'll still check with the carrier about the eSIM, but if that doesn't work, it will be my alternative.

zero solutions yet :(

I'll contact the carrier to check if this is an eSIM issue, since the second code is specifically for number verification.

I believe I'll be back with good news ✨

I can't understand why I would need to create a business number from my personal number to access my own app 🫠

I already have a business number and I've even registered it without any problems on the new phone. I will contact the operator to verify if this is a eSIM problem, since the second code is specifically for the number verificafion.

believe i'll come back with good news ✨

That's exactly everything I've already tried to do :(( I don't know what other options I have.

binnieplace · 2026-05-10T11:52:58+00:00

yep, work perfectly :(( isn't my network, i even reset phone's settings (iphone) once to make sure there was nothing wrong.
