It’s tough to break out of the tight embrace of Apple and Google. And you feel this when switching from Android to iPhone or vice versa. One of the particularly troublesome transfers is moving the WhatsApp data. You may find many tutorials claiming to do it but seldom succeed. Besides, there is no other way except to rely on 3rd-party providers, as there is no WhatsApp-supported method to do it. Thinking of Google Drive? No, it won’t work.
