Thanks but it directs me to download a program call 'Backuptrans Android WhatsApp to iPhone Transfer'
Which charges $25 to do the xfer.

I would do it if I know that it'll actually work. Any experience?
You'd pay $25 to transfer your chat history? Is it really that important to you?

Email yourself a chat transcription  for those conversations.
You can ways search through the email for the info that you need.
ETA I think it attaches a txt file with the chat transcription

I may have missed something, but what's the point of whatsapping yourself?

It's a beta version, you need to be a beta tester to get it.

If everyone's crazy, then being crazy is normal, and being normal is crazy.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
