Although WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps out there, its new and updated privacy policy worries its users. As such, some of them are migrating to other apps such as Telegram and Signal.

Although that’s the case, changing your primary messaging app can be a difficult decision since you might not want to lose any of your chat histories. Thankfully, WhatsApp allows its users to transfer their chats to Telegram.

If you find that helpful, we have here a guide for you. We’ll show you how to move your WhatsApp chats to your Telegram account.

Without further ado, let’s get started.

How to move your WhatsApp chat history to Telegram

If you’re planning to leave WhatsApp and move to Telegram, you can choose to bring your messages and chat history with you. In this way, you don’t need to start over on your new messaging app.

To transfer your data, you need to export your chat history in WhatsApp and select Telegram as the option. Follow our step-by-step tutorials below to learn how.

On Android:

1. Launch WhatsApp and make sure to sign in to your account.
2. Under the Chats Tab, open a chat that you want to export.

   

3. On the upper-right corner of your screen, tap More options (three-dot icon) to open the menu.

   

4. Tap More and select Export chat.

   

5. Once the export options appear at the bottom of your screen, choose Telegram.

On iOS:

As for those on their iPhone, transferring your chat history from WhatsApp is similar to the Android one. There are only slight differences in the interface on both devices.

1. Launch WhatsApp from your home screen or app drawer, and sign in to your account.
2. Open the chat you want to export and access its information page.
