Before migrating from WhatsApp Business to WhatsApp Messenger, you need to back up your account information to iCloud. You can learn how to create a backup in this article.
Note: This migration process doesn’t transfer data created by features unique to WhatsApp Business, such as your catalog and collections.
To move your account information from WhatsApp Business to WhatsApp Messenger:
- Update WhatsApp Business and download WhatsApp Messenger from the App Store.
- Open WhatsApp Messenger.
- Read and agree to the WhatsApp Messenger Terms of Service.
- WhatsApp Messenger automatically identifies the number you used in WhatsApp Business.
- To continue, tap the option with your existing phone number, then tap Continue.
- If you don’t want to use the existing number, tap Use a different number, then follow the verification process.
- Note: If you wish to use both apps, WhatsApp Business and WhatsApp Messenger must be linked to their own unique phone numbers.
- WhatsApp will send you an SMS with a 6-digit code. Enter the 6-digit code to verify your number.
- Note: Skip this step if your iCloud Keychain is enabled and you’ve previously verified the number on the same phone.
- Create your WhatsApp Messenger profile, then tap Done.
