How to port / transfer over whatsapp messages from iPhone 4S to 6+ (after iTunes restore)
My spouse just backup her iPhone 4S & restored using one of the latest version of iTunes
to an iPhone 6+ (on IOS 8.1.2).
Contacts, emails, photos & SMS messages are there. No Whatsapp applications so we
just installed from appstore & all Whatsapp groups got created.
But how do we get all the past Whatsapp threads of conversations (including images)
from the iPhone 4S to the 6+ ?
I recall there used to be a free service on one website that allows us to transfer
messages (think it's both whatsapp & SMS) from old phone to a new phone but
have lost the website's link
to an iPhone 6+ (on IOS 8.1.2).

>and then activate whatsapp for the same phone number on Iphone 6
If I've already done the above activation on the new iphone 6, do I need to deactivate whatsapp on
it & then reactivate again so as for the restore to work? If so, let me know how to deactivate whatsapp
on the iphone 6

Yep, saw "Archive All" : so I do this on the iPhone 4
& then do "Unarchive All" on the iphone 6 ?

Have started to use the iPhone 6 for several days, so will the
"Unarchive All" on the iPhone 6 overwrite (instead of "merge")
all the recent whatsapp chats in the iPhone 6?

On my iphone 4, it's
Chat Settings ==> Chat Backup ==> Back Up Now (Auto Backup is Off)
Just want to confirm the merging is something documented & have
you tested it & it merged?

Each time it will prompt to Verify & when I tap on "Verify", it asks for phone #
& will send an SMS with a 6 digit code: I can't do "Verify" (Resend Code) on the
other phone within 7 hrs
