Digressing from the actual discussion, Whatsapp now allows you to keep a backup of your chats and related media on your Google Drive and then recover it when you move to a new device. Probably applicable only for newer versions of Android (not sure about iOS).

You can backup to (and restore from) iCloud, but then again WhatsApp (the company) does not have the data then.

Yes, I didn't mean to say they have the data. That's why I said I'm digressing from the topic (realizing the parent commenter might find it useful).
