The sophistication offered WhatsApp, allows its users to stay in the app without leaving the phone. So, the data stays on the two devices, without using third-party apps or other cloud services.

So before that, make sure you have downloaded it WhatsApp on a new phone. Then register with the same phone number as the old device.
