Transferring WhatsApp data from very old Android to iPhone

Switching from an old Android 14 Motorola to iPhone 16 pro , really anxious I’ll lose my WhatsApp’s because I’ve heard the Google drive > icloud app switch can be dodgy w the android to ios app and I can only run an old version of android. Should I buy a mediator phone that’s a more recent android ?

This is a good question for meta support, WhatsApp is their app.
