  • I used Move To iOS and it took 3 very long attempts (about 2 hours per try) between which I had to reset the iphone because WhatsApp officially only lets you try once. Very importantly, make sure both phones are plugged in and set to keep their screens on/never lock. If either phone locks or turns the screen off, it’ll hang. It’s a bit janky but I was very determined not to lose all my chats, since WhatsApp is the #1 thing I use my phone for. I suggest putting your sim in your old phone, making sure WhatsApp is up and running there, factory resetting your new iphone, and trying to make Move To iOS work for you. As far as I could make out, it’s the only official way.

    Having had Android phones with top-notch fingerprint scanners and now a 15PM for a month, I prefer the fingerprint scanners. Face ID is fine too, and it’s only a slight preference, but I would prefer an iPhone with touch ID (as long as it was in a sensible place - Androids tend to have it on the back where your finger naturally falls when you hold the phone, no need to reach for the screen)
