2 Ways to Transfer WeChat Messages from Android to iPhone 14/13

I just switch from a Samsung phone to an iPhone 13. I would like to continue with my WeChat old chats on the new iPhone. So my question is there a way to transfer WhatsApp messages from Android to iPhone? Has anyone else dealt with this problem?

Like whatsApp, WeChat was originally a chat app that makes it easy for family and friends to communicate with ease. As this application becomes more widespread, WeChat has more and more features, such as paying bills, checking flights, shopping, ordering taxis, buying tickets, enjoying music, learning about news, and more. Of course, although WeChat has more and more amazing features, "messaging" is still the core of this application.
