Question: migrating without a mac

[schancksb]

Hey there, just a simple question, is there a way of avoiding the use of a mac? I don't have access to one, and I need to migrate my whatsapp chats to an iPhone.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, @seba5496 ! I've not attempted to build the utility on other platforms and the last time I've checked chances to succeed were low due to many missing pieces. You can try to rent a mac with remote access. Though, it does not remove the need of some kind of local PC to run iTunes for backup and restore process.

I've written up a full guide on how to launch a macOS instance using VMWare and perform the full migration - via Windows 10, which can be found at https://gist.github.com/5E7EN/6c55297856c36efc6e0921b0eeff72d0.

Feel free to hit me with any questions!

@5E7EN I'd like to thank you for taking time and providing instructions for less experienced users. Added link to your guide to the README. 👏👏👏
