To be sure that you save your chats properly on your iPhone, make sure that you have iCloud backups enabled for the WhatsApp application, first from the iOS settings application, and then from the settings menu of the messaging application.
When there is a new WhatsApp update for iOS or Android, you should always back up your chat history before updating WhatsApp.

WhatsApp. In the case of Android, backups are automatically made in Google Drive, and as you probably already know, you have free space offered by Facebook in collaboration with Google, so all your data should be safe. Here you just have to activate the backups from the settings menu of the WhatsApp application, then everything is done automatically, so that in case of a backup you have the data safe.
WhatsApp. If you don't have a backup, and in case of an update you lose the conversations, then you have nothing to do to recover those messages, and you will have to get used to the fact that you have lost them completely.
