I have an empty WhatsApp with only GROUPS chats HEADRES in it. Any ideas why? Both phones have latest updates OS

Make sure your iCloud has a recent copy of WhatsApp and that you have enough storage on iCloud

[@SuAmigoAlex]

You need to do a fresh WhatsApp backup on iCloud first (to save your latest chats) if your WhatsApp backup is more that 5GB and you only have 5GB on iCloud, then it won't work, or it might work but only with some old chats. My advice pay $1 a month for the 50GB iCloud option.
