Thanks. Now looking for help in moving watsapps chats & its history to window phone.

I use Windows Phone Before. If your previous contacts is on the Gmail ,

A) Manually Import

1) First , you have to get a Microsoft Email, either hotmail.com or outlook.com or live.com or 365 email.


2) Log in to your Gmail accounts, and try Export your Contact to CSV files.

3) After that, you will need sign in the Microsoft account above. Look for the "People"

4) choose the option to Import from Google with the CSV you just export.


B) Link Account ..

1) To sync some google apps service such as Google Calender/Facebook/Skype etc , you will need to proceed with
linked account.

2) Go to https://profile.live.com. and sign in.

3) Then at the top right corner you will see a "Add " , click on it and try select the service you wish to linked.

4) Follow the step and you will need go Gmail to allow the connection to build. ( please bear in mind that, off the
2 Step Verification if any)

5) Eventually if you success linked account, whatever contacts on Gmail you add or Microsoft Account. It will sync in both side. It also will import the Google Calender Event in Windows Phone also.

BRO THANKS. but contacts migration is not important for me now as you have provided the pathway.
Main thing is the watsapps messages previous chats & its history including its vids and pictures?

This I have email to whatsapp support before .

What they told as I remember , there is not support of Whatsapp transfer for one OS to other OS and
also not possible.

It due to limitation of the different OS have different DB fileformat handling and Encryption by done
by the OS itself.

The only able to migrate and possible to do it is same OS
Android <> Android
IOS <> IOS
WP <> WP

As they told, what the best they can do (but no guarantee) as they told the server may possible keep last 30 chats message cache , once you on board to other phone. It will download and restore it.

My Experience success before from Motorola Atrix 2 to Samsung ATIV S ,
1) Go in to Whatsapps , locate the "setting" option.
2) then scroll to see "Back Up chats" , hits it
3) later do whatever you wish to keep it like Email it Out , Archive It etc.
(so the files will be done, look in to the Whatsapp folder in Phone) backup and keep it.

4) when done. It a chances the Server keep you last backup chats log cache.
5) once you switch to Windows Phone whatsapp , verify etc. It will restore the last Little Backup on Server.

WOW! kam siah!

Wow this thread very usefule guide for me. Now still considering to change from android to lumia..possibly 640XL phone.

Win 10 mobile already released fully is it?

no, now rumoured release date is between mid-September to early October.
If you want to use, you can download the Windows Insider app to update. But I recommend you wait for official release update if you don't have another phone to fall back on

Oh belum lagi ke...now considering nokia lumia 930, i was informed this phone were in this list to get official w10m update..

It can be be restore in wp. Just make sure u copy the whole whatsapp folder in to sd card. Then plug in the sd card to wp. In the storage sence choose all store to sd card. Then begin download new whatsapp and install it. After that run the app. Then u will see the restore button. I am throwing android and ios.. Because wp is almost the stable OS I ever experience. That is only few software not available in wp store. And also waiting for Lumia 950 XL dual sim come to Malaysia. The powerful features is about time to make change. World smaller phone plus laptop on Lumia.

Thanks for the heads up!
