WhatsApp Transfer Plans and Pricing for Business Use
Choose a Dr.Fone - WhatsApp Transfer plan based on how many mobile devices your business, phone shop, IT team, or service desk needs to handle on one PC.
Choose by workload: select up to 10 devices for a smaller service queue, up to 20 or 50 as your device count grows, or unlimited mobile devices for a larger recurring workload. Choose WhatsApp Transfer for messaging migrations; choose Full Toolkit when you also need the other listed phone tools.
Each plan card below is for one PC. Its mobile-device allowance does not specify simultaneous transfers or seats for every staff member. For more computers or users, a Mac license, or a different license term, use Business Pricing to select the matching license. Check the selected product, platform, term and total in checkout before buying.

Choose the Right WhatsApp Transfer Path for Your Business
The best transfer route depends on whether you use regular WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business, whether the new phone is already set up, and whether your team needs a repeatable desktop workflow.
| Migration scenario | Official / built-in route | Where Dr.Fone fits | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard WhatsApp: Android → new or reset iPhone | Use Move to iOS during setup on a factory-new or reset iPhone: Android 5+, iOS 15.5+, the same phone number, updated apps, and both phones connected to power and the same Wi-Fi network. This route does not move WhatsApp call history or merge old and new chats. | Use Dr.Fone when the new iPhone is already set up, or when you also need a desktop-guided transfer, computer backup, restore, or repeat migration workflow. | See Dr.Fone steps |
| WhatsApp Business: Android → iPhone | WhatsApp currently states that its official Android-to-iPhone migration does not transfer WhatsApp Business chats. | Dr.Fone supports cross-platform WhatsApp Business transfer from Android to iOS. | See WhatsApp Business steps |
| Repeated migrations for a phone shop, IT team, or service desk | Native transfer tools can handle individual migrations when their device and setup requirements fit. | Dr.Fone provides multi-device business plans for recurring WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business migration workloads. | Compare plans |
| New phone number + new phone | Change the number on the old primary phone, verify the new number, then create a fresh backup associated with it before restoring on the new phone. | Use Dr.Fone for the device migration after the WhatsApp number-change step is complete. | See number-change checklist |
| Backup before replacement or repair | Use an available same-platform WhatsApp Business backup when the registered number, cloud account and restore requirements match. A missing backup cannot restore inaccessible data. | Create and preview a Dr.Fone computer backup before service, then restore from that available backup. | Back up and restore Business |
Transfer, Back Up, and Restore WhatsApp & WhatsApp Business
Dr.Fone supports WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business migration across iOS and Android, plus computer-based backup and restore workflows for ongoing device changes.
Move regular WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business data in all four directions: Android to iPhone, iPhone to Android, Android to Android, and iPhone to iPhone. Supported content includes chats, media, files, and call logs; the available data options depend on the transfer mode.
Create computer-based WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business backups, then restore available backup data to a supported device when needed.
Back up and restore supported LINE, Kik, Viber, and WeChat data on iOS. These additional social-app backup features are separate from WhatsApp Business migration.
Before You Transfer WhatsApp Business: A Business Checklist
- Identify the account and direction. Choose WA Business for WhatsApp Business, or WhatsApp for the regular app. Record which phone is the source, which is the destination, and whether the new iPhone is already set up.
- Prepare both phones and the computer. Keep the source phone accessible, connect both phones with USB cables, unlock them and grant the trust or app permissions requested by Dr.Fone. Keep access to the registered number for SMS or call verification. See the computer and phone requirements.
- Protect destination chats. Back up valuable destination data before transfer. Android-to-iPhone mode offers a keep-or-remove choice for existing destination WhatsApp data; other directions may replace it after a backup prompt. Read the displayed choice before proceeding.
- Understand the backup requirement. Connected-device transfer does not depend solely on Google Drive or iCloud. It may still require a local WhatsApp Business backup, an encryption-key step, permissions or account verification. Keep the phones connected until the workflow completes.
- If both number and phone change: on the old primary phone open WhatsApp Business Settings > Account > Change number > Next. Enter the old and new numbers in international format, select notification options, tap Done and register the new number. The old number must be registered and the new number must receive SMS or calls. Then create a fresh backup associated with the new number before restoring on the new phone; an old-number cloud backup does not restore under the new number.
Then follow the phone-to-phone transfer steps or the Business backup and restore steps. WhatsApp Change Number guidance explains the account change.
How to Transfer WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business Between Phones in 3 Steps
Step-by-step screens: Regular WhatsApp guide · WhatsApp Business guide
Transfer options and WhatsApp Business screens
Launch Dr.Fone on Windows or Mac, connect and unlock both phones, grant requested trust or permissions, and open Toolbox > WhatsApp Transfer. Complete the checklist above first.
Choose WhatsApp > Transfer WhatsApp messages for the regular app, or WA Business > Transfer WhatsApp Business messages for the Business app. The first screenshot shows regular WhatsApp; use the Business selector below for a Business account.
Confirm Source and Destination; use Flip if they are reversed. Android-to-iPhone mode lets you select supported data types. Click Transfer and follow the destination-data prompt: keep or remove existing data in Android-to-iPhone mode; back up before replacement in other directions. Click Next when instructed, keep both phones connected, wait for completion, then verify chats and sample media on the destination before erasing the old phone.
For Android-to-iPhone transfers, the current desktop workflow can select specific supported data types before transfer. Other transfer directions may use a full-data workflow. Choose the guide that matches the account you are moving: Regular WhatsApp guide · WhatsApp Business guide.
Back Up and Restore WhatsApp Business Before Phone Service
Create the backup while the old phone is accessible, preview it before repair or replacement, and restore from that verified backup when needed.
Create and Check a Business Backup
Android and iPhone backup setup
Connect and start the Business backup. Connect and unlock the source phone, open Toolbox > WhatsApp Transfer > WA Business > Backup WhatsApp Business messages, and grant requested permissions. Use WA Business for either Android or iPhone.
Complete the backup for your source platform.
Android: when prompted, open WhatsApp Business Settings > Chats > Chat backup > End-to-end encrypted backup, choose Use 64-Digit Encryption Key Instead, and generate the key. Click Scan on the computer. On the phone confirm I Saved My 64-Digit Key and tap Create; click Next on the computer. Keep the saved key private and available for your backup.
iPhone: the backup starts after the Business backup selection. Keep the phone connected and wait for the progress screen to finish; the Android encryption-key procedure is not the iPhone backup path.
Verify before handing over or erasing the phone. At completion click View It and preview the backup. Confirm the correct account and the chats and sample media you need; click OK to finish. Keep the computer backup available for restoration. If changing the number, create this backup after the number change so it is associated with the new number.
Restore an Available Business Backup
Android and iPhone restore setup
Select and preview the backup. Connect and unlock the destination phone. Open WA Business > Restore to Device, select the intended backup and click View. Preview the data, then click Restore to Device. Partial restore by data type is available only in Android-to-iPhone mode; other modes use the full supported data set.
Protect existing destination data and start. Click Restore. If the destination-data prompt appears, choose Backup to save its current Business data first, or Continue to proceed without that backup. Restoration can replace existing destination data; do not assume a universal merge. Keep the device connected while restoration runs.
Finish the platform-specific setup and verify.
Android destination: grant requested app permissions and click Next. After the app is reinstalled, register WhatsApp Business with the intended number and verification code, set up the profile and click Next on the computer. When prompted, use File Manager to rename Internal Storage/Android/media/com.whatsapp.gpw4b to com.whatsapp.w4b. Click Next, reopen the Business account and follow the app's chat-restore prompt. Finish with OK when Dr.Fone reports completion.
iPhone destination: if Dr.Fone prompts for Find My to be disabled, open Settings > your name > Find My and disable the requested feature; click OK on the computer and wait for completion. Re-enable Find My after the restore finishes.
On either platform, open WhatsApp Business on the destination and confirm the intended account, required conversations and sample attachments before deleting a remaining source copy.
If the old phone is inaccessible: restoration depends on an existing usable backup. This module does not recover deleted data or extract chats from an inaccessible damaged phone.
