How to transfer WhatsApp conversations to a new phone? I recently changed smartphones from an unknown to Samsung, and I've lost my WhatsApp conversations. I want them on the new phone. I have reinstalled it on the new phone, and the msgstore.db.crypt files are there, but WhatsApp does not read the older conversations back. 

What I would like to do is have WhatsApp appear as an unbroken list of chats so that the date that I changed phones is not apparent in the list of chats.
In case you didn't come right, I had the same issue.
Uninstall Whatsapp from the NEW phone (start blank)
Copy the /Whatsapp folder from your SD card to the new phone (I had to do this because Whatsapp on my new phone was installed to the INTERNAL card, not the SD card, so the upgrade didn't find the old store)
I also copied the android/data/com.whatsapp folder for good luck
Install Whatsapp on the new phone.
After account creation, it should detect the old messages and restore them.
