If you want to transfer WhatsApp messages to a new Android phone without using the backup feature, you can follow these steps:
Install WhatsApp: Install the WhatsApp application on your new Android phone from the Google Play Store.
WhatsApp Setup: Open WhatsApp on your new phone and follow the setup process. Enter your phone number and verify it using the verification code sent to you.
Restore Previous Chats: After verifying your phone number, WhatsApp will prompt you to restore your previous chats. Tap on the "Restore" option if it appears. However, if you don't see the restore option, proceed to the next step.
Local Storage Transfer: Connect both your old and new Android phones to a computer using USB cables. On your old phone, navigate to the internal storage or SD card where WhatsApp data is stored. The location may vary depending on the device, but it is typically found in the "WhatsApp" folder.
Copy WhatsApp Folder: Copy the entire "WhatsApp" folder from the old phone's storage to your computer.
Transfer to New Phone: Disconnect the old phone and connect the new phone to your computer. Copy the "WhatsApp" folder from your computer and paste it into the internal storage or SD card of your new phone in the same location where WhatsApp is expected to store data.
Install WhatsApp Again: On your new phone, navigate to the location where you pasted the "WhatsApp" folder and ensure that it is correctly placed. Install WhatsApp again if you haven't done so already.
Verify and Restore: Open WhatsApp on the new phone and verify your phone number again. If the "Restore" option appears, tap on it to restore your chats from the copied WhatsApp folder. The process may take some time, depending on the size of your chat history.
After the restore process completes, you should have access to your WhatsApp messages and media on your new Android phone, without using the official backup feature.
