Part 2. Transfer WhatsApp Messages from Android to iPhone Using Email Chat

One of the methods you can use to transfer WhatsApp messages from Android to iPhone is the Email Chat method. This method is simple to apply with only 4 steps. If you're looking to transfer a few conversations, then this is the right method for you. However, it exports WhatsApp chats with a TXT extension. Those chats can't be viewed on WhatsApp. Below are the steps showing how to transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone.

Step 1: Open WhatsApp and open the chat you want to export. 

Step 2: Tap the three-dot menu → MoreEmail chat

Step 3: Choose Attach media (larger file) or Without media, enter the recipient email, and send.

Step 4: On your iPhone, open the email to view the chat file — note you can read the messages there, but you cannot import them back into WhatsApp. 

Pro tip: choose Without media if you only need the text and want a smaller file.

This method is, however, very tedious as you have to email messages from one contact at a time. Thus, it is not suitable for the mass transfer of WhatsApp history.
