How can we migrate WhatsApp chat history from Android to Windows phone?

[scavira]

I had a Nexus 4 and I recently moved to Lumia 640 XL. I have two years worth of chat history in my Nexus 4 which I would like to move to my Windows phone. My Android phone is not rooted. However I have helium backup and ES file explorer.

So is it possible to migrate? Has anyone done it successfully?

P.S. I know about the email option and I have already emailed it all. But I would like to see those chats inside WhatsApp.

It seems that Whatsapp can only restore from the backup folder. So if you can manage to put the files you emailed to yourself into that folder and then restore it might work. Otherwise you'll have to wait until they add Onedrive backup.
