Transferring your WeChat account to a new phone without losing conversations is straightforward if you follow the correct steps. Here's a complete guide to do it safely:

✅ Method 1: Use WeChat's Built-In Chat Log Migration Tool
WeChat offers a "Chat Log Migration" feature for moving conversations to a new phone.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
Install WeChat on your new phone but don't log in yet.

On your old phone:

Open WeChat.

Go to Me > Settings > General > Chat Log Migration.

Tap "Migrate Chats to Another Device".

Choose "Migrate entire chat history" or select specific chats.

A QR code will appear.

On your new phone:

Open WeChat and log in with your account.

Scan the QR code using the camera or WeChat scanner.

The transfer will begin. Keep both devices on and connected to Wi-Fi.

🔐 Note: This transfer is done device-to-device over a local connection, so no data leaves your phone or is stored on the cloud.

✅ Method 2: Use WeChat's Cloud Backup (iOS Only with iCloud)
If you're switching from iPhone to iPhone, WeChat data may be backed up via iCloud if enabled.

Make sure iCloud backup is turned on for WeChat.

Back up your old phone to iCloud.

Restore your new iPhone from the iCloud backup.

Install WeChat and log in — your chats should be restored.

⚠️ This won't work for Android or cross-platform transfers.

✅ Method 3: PC Backup via WeChat for Windows/Mac
This is useful for keeping a backup on your computer.

On your PC:
Install WeChat for Desktop.

Log in with your account.

Click More > Backup and Restore > Back up on PC.

On your phone, confirm the backup.

Later, restore from PC to new phone using the "Restore on Phone" option.

✅ Additional Tips:
✅ Always update WeChat to the latest version before transferring.

✅ Make sure both phones are on the same Wi-Fi network during migration.

✅ If you're switching numbers, link your new number before changing phones (Settings > Account Security > Phone).
