Never used it on an iPhone, but on android WhatsApp can do a local backup (which you copy to the new device then restore) or a cloud backup. When I changed phones recently I just told WhatsApp to back up to Google Drive then restored the backup on my new phone.
Unfortunately, WhatsApp doesn't give an option to transfer messages from an iPhone to an Android or vice versa. The iPhone saves the backups to iCloud while Android to Google drive. The local backups on an iPhone are not readable to WhatsApp on Android. It's about time WhatsApp makes it easier for people to switch between different OS's
