Move your WhatsApp Chats to Telegram
Due to WhatsApp’s new privacy policy, people have switched to messaging apps like Signal and Telegram. However, the biggest issue they had was with migrating the existing group and contact chats. With the latest update, Telegram has solved the same by allowing users to import their chat history from WhatsApp. Before we start, make sure to update the Telegram app on your phone to the latest version. Android users can update it from Google Play Store, while iPhone users can head to the App Store page.
On Android
On iOS
The steps to transfer WhatsApp chats to Telegram on iOS is more or less similar to Android, as follows. That’s it. Within seconds, your chats will be copied from WhatsApp to Telegram. The messages will be imported into the current day but will also include their original timestamps from WhatsApp. Other members of the Telegram chat will also be able to view all the copied messages. Note that Telegram does not automatically map the other user’s contact number. So, once you click export chat and open Telegram, make sure you select the correct user. If not done carefully, you may end up copying chats with a person on WhatsApp to some other contact on Telegram, exposing your chats and media to others.
