WhatsApp iPhone to android transfer

[DE1975]

I've recently taken the plunge to ditch iPhone for Android.

I've transferred all my photos,videos, contacts music and text messages but I can't find an easy way to transfer all my WhatsApp chat history to the app on my new Android phone. I backed up WhatsApp on my iPhone to both iCloud and an unencrypted iTunes backup. I've managed to extract the chathistory.sqlite file from the iTunes backup.

Anybody have any idea how to get the chat history to restore on the android phone when WhatsApp is installed? I'm aware of a paid for app which claims to work (wazzappmigrator) but I'm stubborn sort who wants to know a free way to do it
