Telegram has become one of the fastest-growing applications in recent months. Many people have decided to abandon WhatsApp and switch to it. If you are one of them and you do not want to lose the conversations that you have stored for years, now you can import the chats from WhatsApp to Telegram. We tell you how to do it.
At the beginning of January, Telegram announced that it had exceeded 500 million users. Much of the sustained growth in users in recent weeks was due to the controversy that arose after the change in terms of service on WhatsApp. Such was the movement and indignation of the users that WhatsApp had to explain what this change in conditions consisted of in order to try to stop the march of many of its users.
However, the change in messaging app has run its course and millions of people have switched from WhatsApp to Telegram. One of the main reluctance faced by those who wanted to make this app change was how to keep their WhatsApp chats, generated over years. Now it is possible. Telegram allows us to pass WhatsApp conversations.
A very easy process
As we are going to see, importing the chats is very simple and will only take a minute. These are the steps you have to follow:
- Enter the chat you want to import and, in the upper right, click on the three vertical dots. In the dropdown, click More.
- You will find a new menu displayed, one of whose sections is Export chat. Click on it.
- If you have files in this chat, it will ask you if you want to send only the conversation or also the images, videos and documents that are included in it. Choose one of the options.
- You will get a screen with the icons of various applications to which you can export the chat. Choose Telegram.
- Once done, it will take you to your chat screen. You will have to choose a contact, which will be where your conversation is imported.
It seems that Telegram is putting the batteries to unseat WhatsApp as the most used messaging app. The possibility of importing our WhatsApp conversations will undoubtedly help many of those who are considering the change to end up taking the step.
