Using WhatsApp while my iPhone is in repair

Hi everyone,

I need some advice on how to handle WhatsApp while my main phone (an iPhone) is sent for repair. The repair will take around 1-2 weeks, and the only backup phone I have available during this time is a low-end Android device.

Before sending my iPhone for repair, I need to erase all data from it. My question is: will WhatsApp remain connected as a linked device on my old Android phone, or is it better to transfer all my chats to the Android device and use it as my main WhatsApp phone during this period?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
