Thank you so much for this. We recently migrated a relative's phone from Android to iPhone and were shocked to notice there is no way to migrate WhatsApp account history from the Android-->iOS.
Do you have any suggestions for this?
Do you have any suggestions for this?
It’s a subscription software, so I signed up for 1 month, did the migration, and then cancelled my account.
I used it, it's a very slow, very nerve wracking experience, but it works.
You MUST have fully charged phones before you start!! And they need good battery life, since there's no way to charge them while it works.

Give it a try and see how it goes?
It’s buggy, you have to fire up Xcode to run it, and on top of that I had To manually do some corrections in the SQLite database before the script ran without errors lol. But it did work (though it screwed up message orders lightly).

You’ll need to also use https://github.com/YuvrajRaghuvanshiS/WhatsApp-Key-Database-... which makes the process easier than it used to be - no need for an android emulator or second rooted phone
What you’re paying for with Backuptrans is mostly the conversion between database formats, I’m not aware of an open source solution to that. The extracting/decrypting/viewing of android messages and editing iPhone backups can all be done with other tools
You could try looking through this posts on reddit which details a few options for this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/qkq7f2/the_current_sta...
