Telegram has introduced a new feature just in time for users leaving WhatsApp. Telegram users can now move their WhatsApp chats to the app. The new feature is available with the latest Telegram update on iOS and Android. In addition to WhatsApp, this feature supports moving chats from Line and KakaoTalk as well.
The new feature comes with a bunch of other features on the latest version of Telegram. This includes the ability to delete secret chats, groups and call history for all sides anytime. Telegram has also improved voice chats, and audio player, and has added new Android animations in the latest update. The most useful feature would be moving WhatsApp chats to Telegram, and here’s how you can do it.
