Transfering 1 Whatsapp chat group to another phone without changing number

Postby redmanjp » December 3rd, 2020, 3:41 pm

Is there a way to transfer just 1 Whatsapp chat group from 1 phone to another phone which already has whatsapp? yeah the group admin can add you but u lose all the chats. pics, etc on the previous phone. i want all that transferred as well as the current phone running out of space due to all the vids (it only have 8GB storage :( ) the other phone has 64GB.

note I'm not changing phones or switching sim cards, just transferring ONE chat group

What you’ll need:
    Your current phone, with current number
    Your new device
    Your new SIM card and number
    Make sure all your devices are charged up

Step one
First things first, backup your WhatsApp chat history on your current phone, under your current number. Do both local and Google Drive backups.

Find this in: Settings > Chats > Chat Backup

Step two
Install your new SIM card into your new device.I’ve found the best way to go about things is, don’t add any accounts just yet, in fact, I found it best to turn data and WiFi off entirely.

Switch on your new phone so it can receive text messages, though.

Step three
Once your current (old) phone is done backing up, you will need to change the phone number in your WhatsApp account to your new one on that (old) device.

Go to: Settings > Account > Change Number, and follow the on-screen instructions.
WhatsApp will then send a text to your new phone with a verification code. Enter this code into your current (now old) phone. This pairs your WhatsApp account (and all your current chat histories) to your new number.

Step four
Repeat step one and perform a backup of your chat histories. In the background, WhatsApp will associate this new backup with your new phone number.

Make sure you also upload the backup to your Google Drive account, as this is where you’ll restore your chats from.

Step five
Turn WiFi on, and install WhatsApp on your new phone, and log in with your new phone number — make sure it’s picked up the right account. WhatsApp will then give you the option to restore your chat history.

You can export a group chat to a file that you can save on your computer or on a cloud drive like Google Drive, iCloud etc, but there is no way to import a chat.

i guess i'll just have to export it and leave it as a text file and pictures. they should really have a way to import it though without transferring all chats

the issue is the encryption that WhatsApp uses I think

What about moving old WhatsApp data from an older phone to a newer phone where WhatsApp is already setup?
So my old phone cracked and I didn’t have some data backed up, switched to new phone.
But want to repair the old phone and recover the data?

Are you using the same SIM card in both phones?
If so then just backup on one phone and restore on the other

I would be yes, but i thinking about how it will merge the data between the old and new phones.
