Yes, don’t worry, there are good chances that your chats are still saved on the old phone. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Check chats on your old cell phone:
Open WhatsApp on your old phone and see if the chats are still there. As long as you haven’t created a new backup or uninstalled the app completely, the old chats should still be available.
2. Use local backup (for Android):
By default, WhatsApp creates local backups on your phone. You can find it in the file manager WhatsApp > Databases. There should be files like msgstore.db.crypt14 or similar with date entries. You can use this to transfer the chats to your new cell phone.
3. This is how you transfer the chats to your new cell phone (Android):
• Copy the file msgstore.db.crypt14 from the old phone to your new one (via USB, cloud or directly via cable).
• Install WhatsApp on the new phone, but do not open the app directly.
• Move the file to the folder WhatsApp/Databases on the new cell phone.
• Then start WhatsApp and it should automatically offer you to restore the backup.
4. Falls iPhone:
There are no local backups for iPhone, everything runs via iCloud. Here you would have to check whether an older backup is available in iCloud.
Important: If you open WhatsApp on the old phone and create a new backup, it could overwrite the older data. So it’s best to back up everything beforehand.
Hope this helps you!
