Export Chats: Open the chat you want to transfer, tap on 'More' in the chat screen, then 'Export Chat', and send it to a new email. 2. Restore: On the new account, download the file from your email and view chats locally, as direct transfers between accounts aren’t supported by WhatsApp. Consider tools like MobileTrans or Google Drive for device transfers.
