Switch to iOS This app helps you migrate from Android to your iPhone, iPad, or other iOS mobile device, but is limited to certain types of data. Camera roll photos and videos, Gmail accounts, contacts and SMS, and Google Chrome browser bookmarks are data you can migrate to your iOS device with the Move to iOS app.

Now the big problem is that WhatsApp is not on the list above because of the privacy policy, so we have to think of another solution.

To fully transfer WhatsApp data between platforms, you will need third party software and there are two ways to do this. With PC and without PC.
