How can move whatsapp data from Android to iOS?

I'm moving from Android to iOS, but my whatsapp backup is on google drive... and a copy located on my Android phone storage.

My whatsapp history is very important to me, so I can't just leave it... any help?

seanfromllanelli, the problem is that whatsapp only offered 1 option to get the backup data from... if the phone is Android, them, the backup must be on google drive; if is an Iphone, them, the only option is iCloud...

My data is on google drive... I just transferred a backup file copy from my phone storage to iCloud... but it didn't work too...

In order to successfully restore a Google Drive backup, you need to use the same phone number and Google account used to create the backup. To restore your backup:

Make sure the same Google account that was used to perform the backup has been added to your phone.
Uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp.
After verifying your phone number, you'll be prompted to restore your chats and media from Google Drive. Tap RESTORE.
After the restoration process is complete, tap NEXT and your chats will be displayed once initialization is complete.
After restoring your chats, WhatsApp will begin restoring your media files.

You need to ask whatsapp not an iphone or Apple issue.
