Wouldn\u2019t it be great if you could take all your chat messages and media with you? Well, it\u2019s possible to import individual WhatsApp chats right into Telegram!<\/p>\n<p>WhatsApp\u2019s backup and restore feature is very limited. It doesn\u2019t even work between Android and iPhone without a third-party tool. But Telegram has an import feature that lets you transfer conversations from other messaging apps like WhatsApp, Line, and KaKaoTalk on a per-chat basis. While this sounds tedious, it gets the job done. In this guide, we will be focussing on WhatsApp.<\/p>\n<p>Once the chat is imported, the messages will show up for both parties. The imported messages will be added to the bottom of the chat, but they will carry their original timestamp.<\/p>\n<p>All you have to do is export the chat from WhatsApp and import it into Telegram. Here\u2019s how it works on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=org.telegram.messenger&amp;hl=en_IN&amp;gl=US\">Android<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/telegram-messenger\/id686449807\">iPhone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Import_WhatsApp_Chat_History_in_Telegram_for_Android\"><\/span>Import WhatsApp Chat History in Telegram for Android<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Open the WhatsApp app and go to the conversation you want to export to Telegram.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-711729\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Select-Contact-from-WhatsApp.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"235\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Here, tap the three-dot menu icon found in the top-right corner.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-711721\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Tap-Menu-from-WhatsApp.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"219\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Now, select the \u201cMore\u201d button.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-711722\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Tap-More-in-WhatsApp.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"555\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>From here, choose the \u201cExport Chat\u201d option.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-711723\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Tap-Export-Chat-in-WhatsApp.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"470\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>WhatsApp will now ask you if you want to export the chat with or without media.
