Free Alternatives for Transferring
If you prefer not to spend any money, you can still transfer your WhatsApp chats using Google Drive Backup or manual exporting methods. Although these options are more basic, they can provide you with readable versions of your chats without fully integrating them into WhatsApp on your iPhone.

Step 2: After completing the backup, export the chats you need via email so that you can access them on your iPhone.
Transferring Chats via Email
Another way to keep your chat history is by using WhatsApp's "Email Chat" feature, which allows you to send chats to yourself through email. While this won't let you restore the chats directly in WhatsApp, it’s a practical option for saving your chat history.
Steps to Use Email Chat
Step 1: Open WhatsApp on your Android device and navigate to "Settings > Chats > Chat History." From there, select "Export Chat."
Step 2: Choose the contact whose chat you want to export, send it to your email, and then access it on your iPhone.
