Hello!
I want to transfer two WhatsApp accounts (personal and work – each tied to a separate phone number) from my old Samsung S9 to the new Xiaomi 12 (MIUI 13) along with backed up chats and media. Samsung had the Dual Messengers feature which worked great.
With the first account, the transfer went smoothly:
- On Samsung I made a backup of the first WhatsApp account to my first Google account on Google Drive
- Installed WhatsApp on Xiaomi
- Restored data on primary WhatsApp from Google Drive without a problem
Not so good with the second account:
- On the old phone I made a backup of the second WhatsApp account to the second Google account on Google Drive
- Created dual WhatsApp on Xiaomi
- During the initial initialization, the dual WhatsApp on Xiaomi prompted me to restore from the first (!) Google account. I have a second Google account on the phone, but it is impossible to select it to restore data in dual WhatsApp itself.
I tried to set the second Google account as the main in Google Play, but it did not help. Maybe there are other places in MIUI 13 where I need to change the first Google account to the second?
What else can be done? How can I restore data to dual WhatsApp from the second Google account? Maybe I can transfer the data manually? (Though it is not clear where the data of the dual WhatsApp in Samsung is located and where it should be put in dual WhatsApp in Xiaomi).
Thank you all for your help!
Hi
Could you solve it in any way?

Hi everyone,
My situation:
I got a new phone and wanted to migrate my Whatsapp History over. Thought I did it right and already deleted Whatsapp off my old phone, but ****ed up with the migration.
I did do the Whatsapp Google Drive Backup just before I deleted Whatsapp off the old phone, plus I downloaded the latest msgstore.db.crypt8 backup file from the Whatsapp Backup folder.
Problem:
My Whatsapp was registered under my old phone number thats long been disconnected. Now when I reinstall Whatsapp on my phone, I cannot get into my old account, because for that I need to receive Whatsapps 6-digit confirmation code on that old phone number, which obviously I can't.
If I create an account with my new number, Whatsapp does recognize the Google Drive Backup that I did earlier in the day (2GB), but fails to restore that, probably because I'm not logged in with the same phone number that the backup was originally created with.
I have about 4+ Years of messages that are very important to me - is there any way to fix this?
Thanks for any suggestions!!

Dear all,
I'm being a very long user of LG V series from V10, recently I have changed 4th my LG V50 due to breakage of those phones and etc. Usually data transfer were accomplished very simple way thru either LG app or recently just thru the google itself past 2 LG v50 phones had no problem, all the data were transfered such as sms/contacts/apps/dial history and etc. Until now, I have did all the same, but instead of over 4k contacts it did transferred only 2.5k including missing sms from those contacts and etc. Problem is I have realized it a bit late, and due to nature of my business / my phone is my life. So I have new sms and contacts. Question what options do I have ??
1) I'm thinking simple one is obviously to try re do the entire transfer
2) I need some app or whatever I can do to combine old contacts and sms with new ones ???
3) What would be a best application to manage contacts??
PS Forgot to mention that I have 4 different email accounts that those contacts are spread between them - I wanna unite them into one email account. And I'll answer NO I always log in all my emails prior to data transfer and etc.

For contacts, the Gmail account. But be sure you sync them manually and verify on desktop mode that all contacts are stored in that Gmail account.
For sms try a dedicated app or maybe main lg software.

Thank you for response, what do you mean by manually sync them ?? Press sync button on the older phone ?? If so than I did it, and what it means to verify on the desktop mode?? I'd love to manually sort them out one by one since I have bunch of them in double or triple or missing some details like emails or phones and etc.
I have tried LG software but apparently I'm doing something wrong its not recognizing the LG V50......please help me. Thank you
PS on my PC (win10) LG suite asking to install LG air drive on cellphone but there is no such app, instead I have updated or installed LG data SENDER app. but still nothing......
Manually sync them when uploading to Google account, verify that all of them are copied via desktop login, after that login into new phone and let them sync.
Or use built in app when restoring
Solution 1: The easiest way to transfer all the iPhone contacts to Android is by using an iOS to Android data transfer tool like PanFone Mobile Data Transfer. It gives you the ability to transfer all your data including photos, messages, call history, photos, videos and more from one device to another with a single click. This program is compatible with every leading Android and iPhone model. You can transfer your data from iPhone to Android and vice-versa. It supports the newest Samsung Galaxy S10, iPhone XS.
PanFone Mobile Data Transfer can offer other features as well. It can restore iTunes and iCloud data to devices conveniently as well as backup your phone data and restore later:
1. Transfer files between Android and iOS, including contacts, photos, music, SMS, and more.
2. Backup phone data and restore in lossless quality.
3. Recover iTunes/iCloud backup to iOS or Android devices.
4. Sync media files from iTunes Library to devices.
Solution 2: You can also choose to migrate your contacts from iPhone to Android without computer. You can also use your Google account to sync and transfer all your contacts from iPhone to Android phone.
Step 1: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account under the Settings menu of your iPhone and tap on “Google”.
Step 2: Sign-in with your Google account and grant your phone the needed permissions to access your Gmail data.
Step 3: Now, you can go back to your Google account from here and turn on the sync option for “Contacts”.
Step 4: Once your contacts are synced with your Google account, you can easily access them on any Android device. You can use the Google Contacts app or simply use the same account to set up your device for auto-sync of contacts.
Just sync contacts with sim card and then move it to new Android device, it's the easiest and fastest way.
Also,you can use iCloud/iTunes/contact app to do this.
Also think a copy/clone app should suffice...
Did I hear that using the icloud.com option through pc and then later connect the android phone, do this works?
Using google contacts is probably the easiest option, especially if you want to keep your contacts in sync across multiple devices.

yes, that works for me.
Is there an open source software solution to export iphone contacts to a .vcf file? Getting stuck in the Apple ecosystem without using iCloud seems to be an impossible situation.
Scenario: My Galaxy S8 died completely about a month ago, I got an iPhone - still getting used to it, spent incredible amount of time tuning and tweaking the settings.
Today I've noticed I still have the backup from my Galaxy S8 in my Google Drive account and it seems I still should be able to import that data to my new phone. There are some valuable information for me, especially contacts (in call history, not synced with Google), text messages, whatsapp messages etc.
I however don't have another Android phone to sync it and then somehow export it, also I probably won't be able to do it on my iPhone - I am logged in to that account but somehow can't find a way to import such data. (All of my Google synced contacts for example got imported automatically, but not the rest).
Is there a way to somehow manually download that backup data from Google Drive to PC and "unpack" it?
Thanks.

This might help if you can use the import option to import your backup directly from Google drive then transfer it to iOS. Or maybe you can transfer the backup from Google drive then use 7zip or similar software to extract the backup into its separate parts and import/transfer them from your PC to iOS.

The various tools in that software may help you but you may not be able to do it all in with "one shot", you may have to attack from different angles using more than one option, function or tool provided by this software.
Or, another possible option is to install an android emulator on your PC, install Android in it, then sign into your Google account in the android running in the emulator, restore the backup from Google drive in the Android running in the emulator then see if you can transfer the data from the emulated android to iOS
@TinoArts
take note that whenever you backup Android phone to Google, all your data is safely stored in an encrypted backup file over your Google Drive account.
Sorry, novice question:
I have two phones (for 2 countries) but one phone I want to replace. Issue is, both have the same google account. So I want to backup one and transfer all data apps etc. to a new phone.
Same accounts sounds conflicting. Should I use a different google account for that?
The Google account isn't of interest if you make use of the Android Backup Service what backs up Android data to Google Drive, and allows you to access it on the web. It is a convenient file-hosting cloud service for Google users to manage data without hassle..
Note:: That it won’t save SMS, Google Authenticator Data, Custom Settings, Bluetooth Pairing and Security Data for you.

Well, while doing it I ran into one problem, the 15Gb max Google drive allowance. My gmail is there too.
So it does make sense to have different google accounts for different phones.
