Already Set Up Your iPhone 18? You Don't Have to Start Over

Move to iOS is a free option during initial iPhone setup. If your iPhone 18 is already configured or you need more control over WhatsApp data, iMyTrans offers a more flexible workflow.

Free official route

Move to iOS

Best when the iPhone is new or erased and you want to move broader Android content during setup.

  • Free Android-to-iPhone setup migration
  • Requires setup mode or erasing a configured iPhone
  • One-way Android-to-iPhone workflow
  • No chat-level WhatsApp selection

Move to iOS remains a good free choice when it fits your setup. Apple notes that users who already finished setup must erase the iPhone and start over or transfer content manually. View Apple's instructions.

Before you retry

Common iPhone 18 transfer problems

Protect the source data first, then fix the failed connection or workflow.

iPhone already set up

Use an app-specific iMyTrans workflow, or erase only if you intentionally want to restart Apple's setup migration.

Move to iOS is stuck

Keep it onscreen, disable mobile data on Android, keep both phones powered, and restart both before retrying.

Destination chats at risk

Create a verified destination WhatsApp backup. Do not assume two independent chat histories will merge.

Attachments are missing

Check storage, verify the source backup, and keep cables connected until media processing finishes.

Phone is not detected

Unlock it, approve trust prompts, use a direct USB port, and try a certified data cable.

Recovery fallback

Lost data during your iPhone 18 move?

If photos, messages, contacts, or other files disappeared during migration or after an iOS 27 update, iMyFone D-Back can scan supported sources and let you preview available data before recovery.

Supports iOS 2738+ data typesDevice, iCloud, and iTunes recovery modes

Act quickly: Stop adding new data to the affected iPhone because continued use may overwrite recoverable files. Recovery results depend on the device and data condition.

DiMyFone D-Back

Scan first and preview the files that may still be recoverable.

Frequently asked questions

iPhone 18 transfer questions

No. iMyTrans focuses on supported WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, GB WhatsApp, and LINE data. Use Quick Start, iCloud, Finder, or Move to iOS for broader phone content.

iMyTrans provides supported workflows that do not require a factory reset. Back up destination WhatsApp first because the effect on existing destination data varies by workflow.

Yes. It is free for eligible Android-to-iPhone transfers during setup. The official WhatsApp process requires a new or factory-reset iPhone and the same phone number.

iMyTrans lists WhatsApp Business among its supported apps. WhatsApp's official Android-to-iPhone help currently excludes WhatsApp Business from that official process.

Not immediately. Verify important chats, dates, media, and documents on iPhone 18 and keep at least one verified backup first.
