How to Transfer Chat from WhatsApp to Telegram

 


After WhatsApp’s controversial new privacy policy, many users have moved to other messaging apps like Telegram. To accommodate WhatsApp users who have just migrated, Telegram presents a new feature to transfer chats from other apps to Telegram.
This function was introduced in the Telegram app for iOS version 7.4. But Telegram soon released another update that eliminated the description of the chat migration feature, so it’s possible that this feature is still in development and hasn’t been officially launched. So don't be too happy.



Exploring the new features of WhatsApp, had a chance to try this feature and it turned out to be quite easy. Based on the official release note from Telegram, users will be able to transfer chats from WhatsApp, Line, KakaoTalk and other apps to Telegram.

How to transfer chats from WhatsApp to Telegram:

1. Open and export the chat you want to transfer

To transfer chats from WhatsApp to Telegram, the first step to do is to open the chat page you want to transfer. Not only chatting with individual users, chats in WhatsApp groups can also be transferred.



After opening the chat page you want to move, go to the 'More' menu in the chat and select the 'Export Chat' option. WhatsApp will ask if you also want to transfer media content or not.



2. Export chats to Telegram

After that WhatsApp will create a ZIP file containing the entire conversation. A stock sheet will appear containing other app options, then select Telegram.



The telegram will ask which location should be selected to store the imported message. You can choose between chatting with yourself (saved messages), to a new group, or to another contact.

3. Chat is transferred to Telegram

Once all processes are complete, the transferred messages and media will be visible in the new chat location in the selected Telegram. Messages transferred from other applications will have an 'Imported' mark.



Remember, this feature has not been officially launched. Since many users don’t want to move from WhatsApp to another app for fear of losing all their conversations, this new feature may make Telegram more popular. But it is not yet known when this feature will be officially launched for Android and iOS.
