Smartly and at the best time, now Telegram allows you to pass all WhatsApp chats to the app with hardly any mess. Smart because both Telegram and Signal are taking advantage of the uncertainty created by WhatsApp itself this month; the first for this new capacity and the second for even bringing features of the green icon app.
In fact Telegram has taken his blog to announce this great news so that if you want to switch to Telegram, even with all the conversations, you are going to do it in the simplest and most elegant way possible. And not only from WhatsApp, but you can do it from Line or even Kakao Talk.
How to export WhatsApp conversations to Telegram (and others)
This Telegram's new capability works for both private and group chats And yes, we are going to have to choose the destination chat, which would be the same contact we have on WhatsApp. Go for it:
- Open WhatsApp and go to a conversation or chat
- From the three vertical dots button you will find the option «more»
- Now we have to click on «Export»
- It allows us to select between not including files (which would be images, voice notes and more) or including them
- From the Android share menu we have to choose Telegram
- We will have before us the complete list of chats
- We select a chat and it will be exported all content
Mention that the chats will be imported on their current day, and with the information itself its original date so that there is no confusion.
Now we have that chat exported from WhatsApp to Telegram, and so we must do with everyone that interests us. A great way to get started in the best way on Telegram and thus have a similar experience; like the one we explained to you weeks ago in another publication.
Chats on Telegram
Showing how WhatsApp chats are transferred to Telegram, we remind you that unlike WhatsApp, Telegram does not store the data of the messages on the device, so it does not consume storage and thus we do not have to be cleaning it every so often; tell the older ones who complain that no more messages enter them due to the limitation of their mobile space.
And indeed in this new Telegram update offers more control over secret chats, groups created by the user and the history of calls to be able to be eliminated. Since the app owned by Durov does not emphasize the use of data and privacy, an issue more than important today when Signal is also gaining many users in a short time; in fact you can know the most important differences of the two when it comes to privacy.
Other news from Telegram
It has been updated with a more control in voice chats to be able to increase and increase the volume of each one, and even administrators will have the ability to control it so that they are assigned by default.
Also mention the improvements in the player to be able to personalize the experience and thus when playing a track we can go to that mini player with which to move forward or backward. Some other detail has been added as the greeting sticker when we start a conversation for the first time, or a series of new animations to optimize the user experience from Android; when downloading files, playing music or uploading chats.
Finally accessibility improvements related to TalkBack and VoiceOver, as well as the ability to report fake channels and groups. An interesting update that allows all WhatsApp chats to be transferred to Telegram, like other apps like Kakao Talk.
