How to Transfer GB WhatsApp Messages to WhatsApp: A Comprehensive Guide

Transferring messages from GB WhatsApp to the official WhatsApp app can be a bit tricky since GB WhatsApp is a modified version of the original app and does not have official support for data transfer. However, here are some general steps you can follow to attempt the transfer. This guide will cover two primary methods: using the Backup and Restore function and utilizing third-party apps. Additionally, we will discuss important notes to keep in mind during the process.

Method 1: Using Backup and Restore

If you want to transfer your GB WhatsApp messages to WhatsApp using a built-in function, follow these steps:

Backup GB WhatsApp Messages Open the GB WhatsApp application.
Go to Settings. Tap on the Chats option. Select Chat Backup. Create a backup of your chats. This will typically save the backup file in the GB WhatsApp folder in your device's internal storage. Locate the Backup File Use a file manager app to navigate to the folder: GBWhatsApp/Databases. The backup file will usually be named something like WA.db. Rename the Backup File Rename the backup file from WA.db to ChatStorage.db or the latest encryption version used by WhatsApp. Install Official WhatsApp If you haven't already, uninstall GB WhatsApp. Download and install the official WhatsApp from the Google Play Store. Restore Backup During Setup Open WhatsApp and verify your phone number. When prompted, tap Restore to restore from the backup you just renamed.

Method 2: Using Third-Party Apps

If the above method does not work, you may consider using third-party tools designed for transferring WhatsApp data. Some popular options include:

These tools typically require you to connect your phone to a computer and follow their instructions to transfer chats. It is important to note that some of these apps may require more detailed setup and may not be as seamless as the built-in methods.
