If you want to import data, you must review these conditions:

  • Smart Switch version: 3.7.21.5 or more.
  • WhatsApp version:
    • iOS: 2.21.160.13 or more.
    • Android: 2.21.16.16 or more.
  • If the Galaxy device used WhatsApp before restoring Smart Switch, restoration will not proceed.
  • The WhatsApp chat data restoration function is only supported for transmission through cable.

Transmission of WhatsApp chats is not supported on Android devices through Smart Switch.
