The iOS (Apple system) is very restricted, and cannot have a connection to other systems. However, we from Tudo Pra Whats team will show you how to back up WhatsApp from iPhone to Android.

Why can’t I transfer my back up WhatsApp from iPhone to Android directly?

The problem that makes the backup transfer from iPhone to Android impossible and vice-versa is due to the cryptography of each system.
