How to Transfer Viber Messages from Android to iPhone 18 (2026)

Part 1. How to Transfer Viber Messages from Android to iPhone

If you want to transfer Viber messages from Android to iPhone, first check whether your chosen transfer tool currently supports Viber chat migration between these two platforms. Viber's built-in backup and restore feature does not provide a direct Android-to-iPhone chat-history transfer. Compare the methods below to understand their main uses and limitations before choosing the right one.

BackupTrans is a third-party tool that has been associated with Viber message migration. However, its current compatibility with your Android version, iOS version, and Viber version should be verified before you rely on it. The following steps describe the general workflow to check, rather than guaranteeing that every version supports the transfer.

• Check the software's official documentation to confirm that Android-to-iPhone Viber message transfer is currently supported.
• Install the compatible version on your computer and connect your Android phone using a USB cable.
• Follow the software's instructions to detect the Android device and create a backup of the available Viber data.
• If the software explicitly supports transferring Viber messages to iPhone, connect your iPhone and follow its on-screen transfer instructions.

• After the process finishes, open Viber on the target device and check whether the supported conversations and attachments are accessible.

  

Important:

Back up your original phone before proceeding. Do not erase your Android device or uninstall Viber until you have confirmed that your important data is safely preserved. If the tool no longer supports cross-platform Viber migration, use the backup and export options described below instead.

Part 2. How to Restore Viber Messages on a New Phone with Cloud Backup

Viber cloud backups are intended for restoring chat history on a compatible device using the same platform. Use iCloud when moving between iPhones, or Google Drive when moving between Android phones. Neither method directly restores an Android Viber backup to an iPhone.

Method 1. How to Restore Viber Messages with iCloud (iPhone to iPhone)

If you are moving from an old iPhone to a new iPhone, you can use Viber's supported iCloud backup and restore workflow. Make sure you use the same Apple Account and Viber account, and check that your backup is available before switching devices.

• Open Viber on your old iPhone and go to its settings.
• Find the Viber Backup option and check whether a recent backup is available.
• Start a backup if necessary, and wait for the process to finish.
• Install and activate Viber on your new iPhone using the appropriate account.

• Follow Viber's on-screen instructions to restore the available backup, if the restore option is offered. Wait for the process to finish.

  

Menu names and restore availability may vary by Viber version. This method is for iPhone-to-iPhone restoration, not Android-to-iPhone migration.

Method 2. How to Restore Viber Messages with Google Drive (Android to Android)

If both your old and new phones run Android, you can use Viber's supported Google Drive backup and restore process, provided the backup is available and the accounts are compatible.

• Open Viber on your old Android phone and go to Settings or More, then find Account and Viber Backup.
• Check the Google Drive account connected to Viber and create a new backup if needed.
• Install and activate Viber on your new Android phone using the same Viber account.

• Open the Viber Backup settings and follow the available restore instructions. Wait for the restoration to finish, then check whether your conversations have been restored.

  

Note:

Google Drive backup cannot be directly restored into Viber on an iPhone. If your goal is to transfer Viber messages from Android to iPhone, use a currently compatible cross-platform tool only after verifying its supported features.

Part 3. How to Back Up Viber Messages to a PC

If your priority is to preserve important Viber conversations before switching phones, check whether your Viber version offers an export option and whether a compatible desktop backup tool supports Viber data. A computer backup can help you keep a separate copy of supported data, but it does not automatically mean that the messages can be imported into Viber on another platform.

Tenorshare iCareFone Transfer provides backup and transfer features for supported data types. Before using it for Viber, confirm that the current product version explicitly supports Viber and the specific backup or transfer operation you need.

• After confirming that your current product version supports the Viber operation you need, install it on your computer and connect the supported device using a USB cable. Follow the on-screen instructions to select the available Viber backup feature.

  

• Choose the available backup option and continue according to the software's on-screen instructions.

  

• Wait for the backup process to finish, then verify that the backup was created and can be accessed.

  

FAQs About Viber Messages Transfer

1. Can I transfer Viber messages from Android to iPhone?

Viber's built-in backup and restore feature does not directly transfer chat history between Android and iOS. Google Drive backups are used on Android, while iCloud backups are used on iPhone. A third-party tool may offer additional options, but verify its current Viber compatibility before using it.

2. Can I use Google Drive to restore Viber messages on an iPhone?

No. A Google Drive Viber backup cannot be directly restored into Viber on an iPhone. Google Drive backup is intended for supported Android restoration, while iCloud backup is used for supported iPhone restoration.

3. How can I transfer Viber messages from Android to Android?

If your Viber version supports Google Drive backup and restore, create a backup on the old Android phone and follow Viber's restore instructions on the new Android phone using the appropriate accounts.

4. Can I save Viber messages to my computer?

You may be able to save a copy of your conversations through an export feature or a compatible backup tool. Check the current Viber version and tool documentation first. Saving a backup or exported file does not necessarily allow you to import the messages into Viber on another device.

5. Will exporting Viber messages restore them on my iPhone?

No. An exported conversation is generally a separate copy for reading or reference. It does not restore the original messages inside Viber on your iPhone.

Conclusion

Transferring Viber messages from Android to iPhone is not supported directly by Viber's built-in cloud backup and restore feature. Google Drive is used for supported Android restoration, while iCloud is used for supported iPhone restoration. If you need to move chat history across platforms, verify that a third-party tool currently supports your devices and Viber version before proceeding.

If your main goal is to protect important conversations, create a backup or export a readable copy where the available options allow it. Keep your original phone and data until you have confirmed that the backup or exported copy is accessible.

You can also check Tenorshare iCareFone Transfer for its currently supported backup and transfer features. Confirm Viber compatibility before using it for Viber messages.
