The recent privacy policy changes that include sharing some data with Facebook forced many WhatsApp users to use alternate apps, such as Signal and Telegram. Many users now start using the new platforms that offer more privacy and freedom. Telegram has added an option to move WhatsApp chat history to your Telegram account.
The new Telegram app (version 7.4) lets you import your WhatsApp chat history from individual chats and group chats to the platform. You can move all messages, including audio, video, and documents to your new messaging app with ease. What’s more, chat and media you move will not eat up extra space.
