Hello nroni,


It looks like you may have come across it, though this page can help with providing the steps needed on using Quick Start: Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


With regards to WhatsApp, we were able to help locate their page on the process here: How to restore your chat history | WhatsApp Help Center


Restore your chat history from an iCloud backup
1. Verify that an iCloud backup exists in WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Chat Backup.
2. If you can see when the last backup was performed, delete and reinstall WhatsApp.
3. After verifying your phone number, follow the prompts to restore your chat history.


Cheers.

Hey nroni,


WhatsApp mentions this in their support article about changing phones. Take a look at the following article:


About changing phones | WhatsApp Help Center


It does look like restoring your data as provided in the first response is what they suggest doing. If you have any questions about this, you’ll want to reach out to WhatsApp support. They should be able to provide more info.

Take care.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for Your answer, but it looks like I didn't explain my question good enough.

You included links to Quick Start and restoring WhatsApp information as two separated processes.


My question was regarding the inclusion of the WhatsApp transfer as part of the Quick Start process.


In other words - if I follow the default option of Quick Start - will it transfer the WhatsApp data to the new iPhone, or will I need to do a separate process for backing up WhatsApp from the old iPhone and restoring it to the new one?


Thanks
