Found the fix. The whatsapp is indexing all your messages on your new iPhone. So what you need to do just type something on the search bar, leave the phone screen on for 15-30 minutes depends how many messages you have, and you have to prevent the autolock screen on the phone by going to (settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock > Never).
