If you are looking to transfer a few conversations, then this is the right method for you. Below are the steps showing how to transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone.
Step 1: On your android device, open WhatsApp, go to 'Settings' and click 'Chat Settings'. On the drop down list shown, click 'Email Chat'.
Step 2: Choose the WhatsApp conversation or history that you wish to transfer. A pop-up window saying 'attaching media will generate a larger email message' will appear. Depending on your needs, you can click 'Without media' or 'Attach Media'.
Step 3: You will be prompted to key in your email number to the sending interface and then click 'Send'.

Let us see how it will gradually not work.
Step 1. On your old Android device, backup your WhatsApp messages. Once the backup is complete, go to 'Settings' and click Chat Settings. On the drop-down list, that appears, click 'Email Chat'.
Step 2. Back up WhatsApp chats on your old Android phone. Once the backup is complete, go to Settings > Chat Settings > Backup conversations.
Step 3. Uninstall WhatsApp on your Android device.
Step 4. On iPhone, download and install WhatsApp so that you can log in the account that previously used on Android.
Step 5. If it succeeds, it should have prompted you a message 'Message Backup Found' asking you to Restore. It's sorry to say that, but it just won't.
