Transfer WhatsApp messages to new iphone

[builder22]

Want to transfer old messages/pics etc from WhatsApp on old Android to new iPhone

used the Move to iOS app but it doesn’t transfer WhatsApp messages

See there’s a few apps that claim to do this if both phones connected to the PC

could someone recommend a free/safe solution?

cheers

problem is Android WhatsApp uses Google Drive for backup but iPhone WhatsApp uses iCloud so you can’t restore a backup on iPhone that was made on Android

that’s my understanding anyway, need to have a proper read when I’m back home at the pc
