If WhatsApp is not transferring to your new iPhone, ensure both devices are connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. Use the same phone number for activation as the old device. If transferring via iCloud, confirm you're signed into the same iCloud account on both devices and have sufficient storage space. For a seamless transfer, back up your WhatsApp chats on your old iPhone by going to WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Chat Backup and then restore this backup during WhatsApp setup on your new iPhone.
