5. Verify Your Phone Number:

   • Once the restoration is complete, open WhatsApp on your new iPhone.
   • Follow the setup process, which will include verifying your phone number.
   • Enter your phone number and follow the prompts to receive a verification code via SMS or call.

6. Restore Your WhatsApp Chats:

   • After verifying your phone number, you'll be prompted to restore your chats and media from the iCloud backup. Tap on Restore Chat History to begin this process.
   • Wait for the restoration to complete. This may take a few minutes depending on the size of your chat history and media files.

7. Finalize Setup:
