After a bunch of user privacy and trust issues rising from WhatsApp’s 2021 privacy policy update which will alow the app to share data with Facebook, Telegram as one of the best alternatives has now started supporting imported WhatsApp history allowing users directly import WhatsApp messages to the platform.
Currently, the best way to import WhatsApp messages to Telegram is through exporting your data to be directly retrieved by Telegram with contact selections of those actively registered on the app. This means, every node of your chat history will be saved in the same order as your contacts.
In the importation process of your Whatsapp messages to Telegram, you will not face any errors associated with losing your previous chat data as a matter of migration. Often, switching between apps attracts data loss, but with migrating your WhatsApp data to Telegram, all your data will be saved.
Since Telegram groups operate in a different fashion as compared to Whatsapp groups, you may not get any of your group history imported to the platform. Henceforth, only your Whatsapp chat history with contacts will be migrated in the same style, shared media, and notes similar to your previous chat session.
