[SW_974811]

Hi all I am moving from Iphone to Android

how can i move whatsapp chats

how do I move photos from icloud?

And how do I do the above, do i get a sim card from smarty for my new phone and use that temp number to port everything over and then ask smarty to move my number across?

How many days do I get to do this without having 2 plans?

Thank you

Here is an article from WhatsApp Help Centre that should do the job:

Hope it works for you.

I think @SW_974811 is moving from iPhone to Android, which the WhatsApps Help Centre have covered in the following article:

You don't need a SIM in your 'old' phone (iPhone?) to get the WhatsApp chat history, and iCloud photos off your 'old' phone @SW_974811.

The Wi-Fi will work on your 'old' handset even without a SIM card present.

Your iCloud photos are online at https://www.icloud.com - just sign-in with your Apple ID, and you should see all your photos online.

Good luck @SW_974811.

Hi @Chalkychap Would I need a new sim card from Smarty to fit into my new android phone please? 

[Chalkychap]

Have you got a SMARTY SIM already, or are you just thinking about using SMARTY as your service provider @SW_974811?

[SW_974811]

Yes I am a SMARTY customer already

[Chalkychap]

Okay @SW_974811, is your 'old' iPhone using a SMARTY SIM card, or another service provider's SIM card?

Have you used your 'new' Android phone yet @SW_974811?  

[SW_974811]

Yes outgoing/old iphone is using smarty sim card 👍

not used my new android phone yet 👍

[Chalkychap]

Assuming your Android phone uses a nano-SIM card, your current SMARTY SIM should work in your new phone.

Good luck @SW_974811.
