Step 1: Launch iTunes, connect your old device to iTunes, go to Device Name >> Summary >> This Computer >> Back Up Now.

Step 2: Connect your new device to iTunes, go to Device Name >> Summary >> Restore Backup

Notes:

If you already have iTunes backup files on your computer, the first step can be skipped.
The iTunes backup will erase new data on your new iDevices.

Way 2: Regain WhatsApp Chat History from iCloud Backups

This method can help you retrieve or move WhatsApp data from an old iPhone to a new iPhone X/8. It can also help restore the device to factory setting.

Step 1: On the old device, go to Settings >> iCloud >> Backup >> Turn on iCloud Backup >> Back Up Now. You’d better conduct this process under stable Wi-Fi and don’t disrupt it until the backup is completed.

Step 2: on your new iPhone 13/8/8 Plus, go to Settings >> General >> Reset >> Erase All Content and Settings.
