How to export messages from WhatsApp to Telegram

At the moment, there is not much that is being discussed on the Internet other than the outflow of users from the WhatsApp application. They are leaving because Facebook, which is behind WhatsApp, has prepared new terms of use for the aforementioned chat application. In these terms, it is said that Facebook should gain access to many other user data from WhatsApp, which it should then use for precise ad targeting. Quite understandably, this doesn't sit well with the millions of users who have stopped using WhatsApp and switched to an alternative app - the hottest candidates being Telegram and Signal.

But the problem is that when you switch from one communication application to another, you typically do not have access to old messages from the older communication application. It was in the interests of the developers of alternative applications for WhatsApp to find a way to transfer these chats, ideally with media. If you are a Telegram user, I have absolutely great news for you. This application can already handle the export of chats from WhatsApp - and it is certainly not complicated. If you want to find out how, keep reading.

This information is collected by the Facebook application:

After the export of messages from WhatsApp is completed, you will already see all the messages directly in the Telegram conversation. Unfortunately, you have to transfer each conversation separately anyway, there is currently no option to transfer all conversations at once. Fortunately, it is nothing complicated. If you haven't switched to another application for the time being, mainly because of the impossibility of moving messages, then definitely consider where you will move from a security point of view - because some applications will not help you at all. You can see a complete overview of the security of various chat applications in the article I am attaching below.

Hello,
some claim that the new WA measures do not apply to the EU. Presumably because its legislation does not allow it. Do you know anything about it?
Thank you for your reply, Jiri Niznansky

Yes, you are right, the new conditions do not apply to the European market.

I would be quite interested in comparing and pointing out how safe individual applications are. E.g. Telegram is not exactly among the most secure. And already for the collection of metadata, such as IP addresses, phone numbers, contacts, timestamps, and also due to the use of proprietary encryption.

In addition, encryption is not turned on by default and you have to turn it on manually for each chat.

In my opinion, switching from WhatsApp to Telegram is like switching from a roof to a gutter.

In case you're wondering, the app is free, there are no ads. What does the platform live on? Are they pouring money into programmers, testers, infrastructure just to put a smile on the faces of a million people around the world?

A nice comparison of the kecalka from the point of view of security is, for example, here.
