WhatsApp data transfer with no backup

Hello,

I would like to transfer my WhatsApp data from my iPhone6 (no space on the phone to back up) to my iPhone 6S (plenty of space available).

Is it possibile to use iTunes to back up WhatsApp on my PC and transfer chats, data and videos on my iphone6S, without syncronize the all device?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

As far as I know the data which is backed up on iCloud is never backed up on iTunes. WhatsApp backup is taken on iCloud always.

WhatsApp Backup is taken on iCloud and while restoring, it verifies your Phone number.

The phone number used for backing up and restoring must be the same. You can't restore the chat history from another WhatsApp account.
Because backups are tied to individual phone numbers, it is possible to have backups for multiple WhatsApp accounts stored in the same iCloud account.
