Once the chat transfer starts you will be asked to keep your phone unlocked and this app open. WhatsApp will start the preparation and then your chat history and media will be transferred. When the chat transfer is complete, you can continue setting up your Android phone and restore it. One important thing to note here is that you shouldn't disconnect your cable until you're done with the entire process which includes restoring your chats as well. This means that you will have to connect your Android phone to your PC or laptop to transfer your chat history from your iPhone.

WhatsApp uses iCloud for chat backup on iPhone, and Google Drive on Android. For cross-platform compatibility, you will most likely have to first move your WhatsApp chat history and media to your laptop and then to your Android phone.
