Was simple going from my android phone to an iPad. It just appeared.

Really, recently? So iOS has access to Google Drive to see the data?

And I think google now host the chat backup and iOS can’t access google drive, well not the WhatsApp backup

Just transferred my Viber and Whatsapp from my Note8 to my XS Max. Lost all messages. Viber for desktop wasnt affected and still has all my messages. Whatsapp for desktop lost all messages as well.

It must be that WhatsApp store the backup in Google Drive, mine was the same, just a few "old" messages were still there when I went from Google Pixel XL2 to iPhone Xs Max
