You might also be interested in a software called iMazing. It’s a paid piece of software, not free, but it’s worth the price imo. I use it mainly for transferring photos from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro M1. But I know that iMazing can back up WhatsApp messages as well, among other features. https://imazing.com/ https://imazing.com/guides/export-and-print-whatsapp-chats-f...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The days of android being free and open are long gone. Now there are several aspects of android that are more locked down than iOS. For example android has an api which allows disabling the screenshot feature. While iOS only allows apps to listen for when a screenshot has happened.
I also don't understand who thought it would be a good idea to disable screenshots... Android is becoming worse every year.
But for app developers there are a lot of reasons they might want to do that. Disappearing messaging apps like Snapchat, ticket QR code displaying apps, stock footage apps, ebooks, and more.
It's just that Google has decided that that second group of people actually owns your phone, not you.
Back in the days you would just lose all your message history anyway with text / AOL / MSN / facebook messenger / others… so I just started accepting it as a fact of life that you can’t keep your messaging history forever.

This caught me by surprise; I'm not sure if you're aware, but you can open up Image Capture (built-in Mac app) to import photos from your iPhone. Obviously iMazing can do other things as well, but just in case.
Thank you so much for this. We recently migrated a relative's phone from Android to iPhone and were shocked to notice there is no way to migrate WhatsApp account history from the Android-->iOS. Do you have any suggestions for this?
You could try looking through this posts on reddit which details a few options for this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/qkq7f2/the_current_sta...

It's interesting that you can get the decryption key on iOS but the only way to do it on Android is to root your device.

This is horrible in itself.
