How To Transfer Whatsapp From Huawei To Xiaomi

by

Given the rise in MIUI’s popularity, more and more individuals are making the switch to Xiaomi smartphones due to its custom Android interface. However, a common concern when making such a transition is securely transferring all data, including chats, images, and videos from WhatsApp. This article will provide a helpful guide for transferring WhatsApp data from Huawei to Xiaomi.

Using Local Backup

One of the simplest ways to transfer WhatsApp data from Huawei to Xiaomi is to use the local backup feature of WhatsApp. Here’s how to do it:

  • Open WhatsApp on your Huawei smartphone.
  • Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Chats’ > ‘Chat Backup’.
  • In the ‘Chat Backup’ settings, tap on the ‘Back Up’ button to create a local backup of your WhatsApp chats.

After creating a local backup on your Huawei device, it’s time to restore this backup on your new Xiaomi phone.

  • Install WhatsApp on your Xiaomi device.
  • Login with the same phone number that you used on your Huawei phone.
  • WhatsApp will automatically detect the local backup and ask you if you want to restore it.
  • Tap on the ‘Restore’ button to transfer all your WhatsApp chats from the Huawei to Xiaomi device.

Using Google Drive

If for some reason, the local backup method doesn’t work for you and both your devices are connected to the same Google account, you can use Google Drive to transfer your WhatsApp data. Here’s how:

  • Open WhatsApp on your Huawei smartphone.
  • Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Chats’ > ‘Chat Backup’.
  • In the ‘Chat Backup’ settings, tap on ‘Back Up to Google Drive’ and select the backup frequency to ‘Only when I tap Backup’.
  • Tap on ‘Back Up’ to create a backup of your WhatsApp chats on Google Drive.

Once you have created a backup on Google Drive, you can restore this backup on your Xiaomi phone:

  • Install WhatsApp on your Xiaomi device.
  • Login with the same phone number and Google account that you used on your Huawei phone.
  • WhatsApp will automatically detect the Google Drive backup and ask you if you want to restore it.
  • Tap on the ‘Restore’ button to transfer all your WhatsApp chats from the Huawei to Xiaomi device.

There you have it! Two simple methods to transfer your WhatsApp data from a Huawei to a Xiaomi phone. Remember, the key is to use the same phone number and Google account (if you’re using Google Drive) that you used on your old device. Happy texting!
