hello everyone and welcome back this is paul from tech link and in today's video i want to show you
how you can export your whatsapp chats into the telegram app on an iphone now as i mentioned in
my previous two videos there have been some events that happened at the beginning of this
year revolved mostly around whatsapp privacy which saw a lot of its users turn to other platforms
for services like direct communication one of the platforms that benefited from these events
was telegram which saw an increase in its users obviously telegram is a more established platform
unlike signal up so we cannot compare the increase in popularity between the two of them however
telegram did took its benefits as over 100 million new users joined the app in january of 2021
ironically moving from whatsapp to telegram it's not a better move from a security standpoint
us the platform does not offer an end-to-end encryption by default there is however a secret
chat option where one user can message another using end-to-end encryption between two devices
but this does not extend to groups i will cover that feature in a separate video so make sure to
subscribe if you want to learn more about that now telegrams developers were quick to acknowledge the
situation and took advantage of it by releasing an update to their own app that allows users to
export their old whatsapp chats into telegram so let's say you want to leave whatsapp for
telegram and don't want to use your chat history the first thing you need to do is download both of
the apps on your iphone then you need to launch whatsapp and tap the conversation thread that
you want to export to telegram there isn't an option yet to export all the charts together so
you have to do that one by one now you need to tap the contacts name at the top of your screen
or the conversation title if it's a group chat and scroll down and select export chat
now you will get a pop-up asking if you want to attach the media found on that chat thread
or not so select whichever you want then you will see this share menu from where you need to select
the telegram app and after that you select the contact that you want to import the chat to
and press import and that's it you're done if you want to export a group the procedure
is slightly different so you select the group from whatsapp grouping for
and export chart select wait or without media and now share to telegram and import to a new
group now press create and import and that's it you're done now a few things worth mentioning the
participants won't automatically join you which leaves you two options you can either create
the group before add the participants and then import the whatsapp chat or like i showed you
import the chat into the group created at the same time and add the participants after whichever it's
easier for you and that's it for today's video if you enjoyed it and found it useful please give it
