The other day, I was helping my wife to transfer WhatsApp from Samsung Android to iPhone.
I followed this YouTube video which was super helpful (except it needs to erase and reset the iPhone if you want to do it free).
It was always stuck at Preparing...
It never proceed to start and % status of transferring until I restarted her Android mobile.
A few key points:
Backup WhatsApp videos/chat to a Notebook/PC and clean up - else it will take hours.
Restart Andriod Mobile - then it worked, at least for me.
Upgrade to latest iPhone firmware for that major version - e.g. mine is v16 to the latest. Even with the latest iPhone 15, upgrade to the latest major version it has e.g. 17.1
Anyway, I saw another YouTube video that it can be done without losing iPhone data.
I did not try that, so I dared not walk the talk.
From theory, it may seem to work but I do not think you can combine the WhatsApp chat from both mobiles.
