Here’s how to move your WhatsApp chat history and other apps to your new Telegram account.

More than 100 million users joined Telegram in January, “Looking for more privacy and freedom” moving from other apps that you might be using so far. To help them get around, Telegram has created a new feature that allows users to move their chat history from other apps like WhatsApp, Line, and KakaoTalk, to their new Telegram accounts.

The new feature works for groups and individual chats, and it’s easy to use.

How to move your chats from WhatsApp to Telegram

To move any WhatsApp chat on iOS:

Open the Contact Information or Group Information page (depending on whether you are moving an individual or group chat) and tap Export chat.
In the share menu, tap Telegram.
You can also export your chats directly from the chat list by swiping left on a chat and choosing “…”> Export chat.

The messages that you import will appear on the current day, but will also include their previous timestamps. Everyone will see the messages in the specific chat.

On Android, you will need to touch the three-dot menu, Plus, so Export chat – then tap Telegram in the Share menu.

Telegram data doesn’t take up as much space as other apps on your device, so it makes perfect sense to move your chats to the app.

Telegram users can also delete the messages they send and receive (for both sides). The app provides even more control: their secret chats, the groups they created, and their call history can also be deleted without a trace. Telegram does not store any information about deleted chats and call logs.
