Bidding adieu to WhatsApp and moving to Telegram? The first thing that comes to mind when switching a chat platform is the fear of losing messages. Well, the good news is that you can transfer your WhatsApp chats to Telegram on your iPhone.
After WhatsApp revised its privacy policy on January 8, 2021, users worldwide had a sudden disruption and dissatisfaction. Even though WhatsApp tried to clarify its stance, pointing out that nothing would change, the damage had been done for some users.
Hence, the platform lost a massive chunk of users to Telegram, among other alternative messaging platforms. This undoubtedly gave an impeccable surge in WhatsApp users willing to transfer messages to Telegram. While WhatsApp restricts this action even via third-party applications, Telegram offers an effective way to move and safeguard your chat history.
Here’s how it works on iPhone.
How to import WhatsApp chats into Telegram on iPhone
- In WhatsApp, open the chat you want to export.
- Tap the contact’s name at the top of the page.
