can win 8.1 backup whatsapp messages?

I am buying my mother a new windows phone and I am wondering how to backup her whatsapp messages. If I update her phone to win 8.1 will it backup the messages and restore to the new device?

you can not transfer chat history from one device to another. But if one is using a windows phone and update his/her phone to windows phone 8.1, chat history is preserved (actually nothing is deleted when you update a current phone to wp8.1 )

Well that sucks. Of course I know the chat history is preserved with an update.
