You will need to use a paid program to do it. Do note- it's also a bit sketchy. You have to install a custom version of whatsapp instead on your android phone and it involves decrypting the backup files so that they can be transferred. It does work though- I used it to transfer data from my android phone to my iphone. [Backup was only 3GB] though
How paid programs do it is using an old version of WhatsApp exploiting a glitch. However, WhatAapp did release a news letter kind off that they themselves will be providing support for that soon. That is the same reason I am holding to buy a new phone (Shifting from android to ios) and also waiting for iPhone 14 haha :>

What about iOS to Android? My FIL wants to change his phone and it is iPhone and he is planning android.
You're in luck if you have a Samsung with Android 10+. You just need a lightning to USB C (or lightning cable + OTG) to hook up the iPhone to your Samsung; Samsung Smart Switch should detect the iPhone and help you get your Whatsapp setup.
Android 12 supports Whatsapp transfer as well, I believe you need a phone that comes out of the box with Android 12. Factory reset and follow the restore instructions. You'll need a lightning to C-type cable/lightning+ OTG to hook it up again.
For any other Android, unfortunately, you'd have to find one of the above 2 options temporarily, load whatsapp, back it up to G-drive and then load it again on the new device.

Alternatively, you can purchase those apps that exist for doing this. They do have a high probability of success, but there's always a slight chance of it not working.
Cheers.
