Where is my chat backup?

[iMore Question]

I want to switch phones from iPhone 4s to 5s but want to take my whatsapp history with me. I have supposedly backed up the chats on iCloud (says there is a 1.1GB backup on iCloud), but when I put my number in whatsapp in my new phone it says there is no backup. Luckily if I switch back to the old one i can get my history back but how do I manage to transfer the history successfully?
Please help!
Merry christmas!

Did you back up your old phone to iCloud? Do you still have the old phone? Did you set up your new phone with the iCloud back up?
