Part 3: Transfer WhatsApp Messages From iPhone To Samsung Galaxy S22 Without Computer

The last two ways are both without computer and directly transfer chats by using your phones. But we would not recommend you try these due to their limitations.

Transfer Via Email

Sending email is probably the easiest way to transfer WhatsApp messages from iPhone to your Samsung S22. But you can't sync the chats with your WhatsApp app on the new phone. That is to say, it is more like a record file that you can only read in email whenever you want to find your previous chats.

To do that:

  • Go to Settings > Chat Settings > Email Chat on your iPhone.
  • Select the WhatsApp history you want. A window will pop out saying "Attaching Media will generate a larger email message". Choose Without Media or Attach Media based on your needs.
