“Backup WhatsApp messages on old device > uninstall WhatsApp on old device > install and register WhatsApp on new device > detect backup and click Restore” is the normal way we will need to use when transferring WhatsApp from Android to Android or iPhone to iPhone. But when it comes to different OS transfer cases, this “normal backup and restore method” just will not work.

Here is the reason why. To store WhatsApp, Android use Google Drive while iPhone uses iCloud. The backup is stored in a different location and your new device cannot detect and restore it. Instead, it will pop up messages telling you “there is no backup available”. Therefore, you cannot succeed the transfer via usual backup and restore method.
