If you are going to keep using your iPhone
In case you are going to continue using your iPhone as the main device, you can use your Huawei smartphone as a secondary device, adding it as a linked device. This allows you to use WhatsApp on any of the 2 phones, you avoid having to support safety before the process, and you can even use WhatsApp on your Huawei device although your iPhone is not connected to the Internet.
The only inconveniences are that you should connect to the Internet from your iPhone at least 1 time every 14 days, and that some functions will not be available on your Huawei smartphone, such as, for example, see the location in real time, create diffusion lists, or interact with companies through WhatsApp Flows (for WhatsApp Business). These limitations not by Huawei, but are imposed by WhatsApp for all linked devices.
