Move your chats from WhatsApp 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 the existing group migration and contact chats. With the latest update, Telegram fixed the same by allowing users to import their chat history from WhatsApp.
Before you start, make sure you update the Telegram app on your phone to the latest version. Android users can update it from the Google Play Store, while iPhone users can access the App Store page.
In android
- Launch WhatsApp on your Android phone.
- Open the chat and click on the three dot menu in the upper right corner.
- Click on More and select Export chat.
- Tap Include media if you want to add pictures, videos and other files.
- On the share sheet, tap Telegram.
- Now select the Telegram chat or the contact where you want to copy your WhatsApp chats.

That’s all. 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 WhatsApp timestamps. Other members of the Telegram chat will also be able to see all the copied messages.
Please note that Telegram does not automatically assign 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 one person on WhatsApp to another contact on Telegram, exposing your chats and media to others.
