Honest comparison
WaMover or the official way?
If your new phone is still sitting at its very first setup screen, try WhatsApp’s free official transfer first. WaMover is for everyone who is past that point.

Before you start
What you’ll need
Ten minutes of prep heads off most of the problems people run into.
- A Windows computer
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), with enough free disk space for your WhatsApp data. - Two USB cables that carry data
The cable that came with each phone is the safest bet. Some cheap cables only charge. - Both phones charged and unlocked
Above 50% is a good rule. Keep the screens awake during the move. - WhatsApp on both phones, same number
Update WhatsApp to the latest version on both phones first.

FAQ
Questions people ask before switching
Do I have to factory reset my new phone?
No. The official tools only work while the new phone is being set up for the first time, which is why people are often told to erase it. WaMover works with phones that are already set up and in use.
Which directions does WaMover support?
iPhone to Android and Android to iPhone. You pick the direction in the app before the move starts.
What do I need before I start?
A Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) computer, a USB cable for each phone, both phones charged, and WhatsApp installed on both phones with the same phone number.
Is there a Mac version?
Not yet. A Mac version is in development. Email support@gurubox.ai and we will tell you when it is ready.
Are my chats uploaded anywhere?
The move runs on your own computer, with both phones connected by cable. Your messages are not uploaded to WaMover servers. See our privacy policy for details.
Can I do this with just my phones?
Not with WaMover. Both phones need to be plugged into a Windows computer during the move. If you only have your phones, the official WhatsApp tools are the way to go, as long as the new phone is still at its setup screen.
Is WaMover made by WhatsApp?
No. WaMover is an independent product made by GuruBox. It is not affiliated with WhatsApp LLC, Meta, Apple or Google.
New phone, same chats.
