No. You can contact WhatsApp to see if they’ve added that capability, but unless they made recent changes to allow that it is not possible. And that has nothing to do with Apple since Apple does not own WhatsApp (FaceBook does). WhatsApp has never provided a means to restore their app’s backups across platforms.
