Hello folks,

I have Whatsapp activated on Motorola XT910. My SIM card went bonkers, don't know why and a replacement SIM is on its way. May take 7 days. I wonder if there is any way that I can move whatsapp from XT910 to Galaxy S4.

I tried Helium but Helium android app is not compatible with XT910 and so I am stuck. What other ways I can try?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you are looking for, but if I do it's a lot easier than you think. I have moved Viber and We Chat and Line around from phone to phone, and the only thing I had to do was install it on the new devise, and then use the new code they sent when you enter your phone number and that's it. The app is installed on a new devise with all the previous data.

Nope,
This is what you do when you activate on a new phone. I can not activate until I receive a new SIM card, which is about a week. This does NOT bring your old chats to a new device. I have done this a few times.

You are right bruh, I misunderstood the post. Another idea would be to use something like Skype, Yahoo or Kik messenger. I know it's not exactly the same, but it goes by email and not your phone number so you can have it without the SIM card, and it's pretty much just as "instant" as What's Up.
