Telegram Messenger has agreed to allow a significant feature that could help it attract more users in the days to come, seizing the chance of many WhatsApp users around the world searching for another app to jump ship to.
The instant messaging service has made it possible for users to import their WhatsApp chats into Telegram now. This could prove to be a successful move because users wanted to dismiss the app (due to recent privacy concerns) but wanted to preserve their WhatsApp chat history at the same time.
Chats history can also be imported to Telegram from applications other than WhatsApp, according to webatinfo.com.
All messages you import from WhatsApp or other apps are labelled as “Imported” in the Telegram. They were previously labelled as “Forwarded”.
So far, only iPhone users have been offered this feature and it is available on the App Store. An update for Android however, according to webatinfo.com is soon planned as well.
