📲 How do you install WhatsApp on iPhone?
If it’s your first time, follow these steps:
- Open the App Store.
- Search for “WhatsApp Messenger”.
- Tap “Get” and wait for it to download.

Did you delete it and want to reinstall it? The process is the same, but if you had a backup copy, you’ll be able to recover your chats.
⚠️ Does WhatsApp work on iPhone 3G?
No, it’s no longer compatible. iPhone 3G models are too old and don’t support the current versions of WhatsApp. If you have an iPhone 4S or later, you won’t have any problems.

Important: You need to have enough space in iCloud.
🔄 How do you recover WhatsApp if you change iPhones?
If you reinstall WhatsApp or buy a new iPhone:
- Use the same Apple ID and phone number.
- When you open WhatsApp, it will ask if you want to restore from iCloud.
- Confirm and wait for your chats to load.
🤖 Can you transfer WhatsApp from iPhone to Android?
Yes! WhatsApp has an official tool to migrate your chats:
- Connect both phones (iPhone and Android).
- Follow the steps in the transfer assistant.
- Wait for the process to complete (it may take a while).
