New Telegram update allows users to import chat history from WhatsApp and other messaging apps

WhatsApp has recently sent in-app privacy policies to its users that you can’t ignore in order to continue using the app. As a result of this new policy, many users have started to switch to other messaging apps such as Signal and Telegram.

Taking the advantage of the situation, Signal and Telegram are also trying to gather more and more audience on their side. According to the latest information, Telegram has silently released an update that will now allow its users to import their chat history from other messaging apps including WhatsApp.

In addition to this, the new update also brings improvements to enhance the user’s experience while using Telegram. You can now greet users with one tap by sending the desired sticker, report fake groups or channels, and much more. With a few steps, you will be able to export your chats from WhatsApp to Telegram.
