If this is the case, this post is helpful to bring some solutions about how to transfer WhatsApp messages from Android to iPhone 11

Although it is a little bit complicated to transfer WhatsApp chats from Android to iPhone 11 using Gmail, you can try to use this solution if there are just a few WhatsApp chats you need to move. It is completely free to move the Chats from Android to your new iPhone 11 but the chats will be created in TXT format on your new iPhone 11.

If you think this solution is fine, please follow the tips below about how to transfer WhatsApp messages from Android to iPhone 11 via Gmail.
1. Locate the WhatsApp app on Android and open it.
2. Navigate to Settings>Chats>Chat history export chat
