The last time I had to use Move To iOS it just copied everything. „Transferring“ is copying with an extra step of deleting the original data, in this context. That could potentially mean to lose data, which is why it should still just copy everything.
WhatsApp was another story, back then there was no official way of transferring your messages. It is possible now, but keep in mind that you can only have one device per WA account, as it is tied to your phone number/sim. There are third party solutions(like WA browser) which connect to your main account, no official way of having the WhatsApp app twice using one account though.

You cannot use whatsapp with only one number but two phones. Move to IOS app can transfer all whatsapp data from Android to iOS, but you need to back up Android whatsapp data to google drive first (do it in whatsapp settings)

What’s the advantage to this over an iCloud backup? I’ve always wondered.

It’s definitely easier to do iCloud backup but if this person had an Android before (like me) then the Move to iOS app would be best

Yeah I didn’t even think of that. I thought they were referring to the quick start function when you change iPhones.

Mainly the fact that you can't backup an Android to iCloud.

Not with that attitude, you can’t.

I think you can transfer WhatsApp data using the ios move app. I also moved from an Android, but the projected time for the transfer was terrible, and my messages didn't matter that much to me.

It just copies it rather than deleting it. Can’t answer the WhatsApp question though.
