According to 9to5Mac, Telegram's integrated tool thus makes it possible to import WhatsApp, Line, KakaoTalk conversations and other alternative messaging applications - the list of which is not specified. Its operation is very simple.
To import your WhatsApp conversations for example, you have to go to the application with the green logo, then go to the More tab… at the bottom right. You must then go to Export to export your conversations. During the import, Telegram will ask you which contact or group you want to associate the messages with.
These are then copied to Telegram and are visible to all members of the conversation , without them having to do anything. To avoid confusion and abuse, Telegram places a warning below the message bubbles that have been imported in this way . For now, Telegram refuses to confirm the arrival of this feature. It is not known why the publisher chose to deploy it before immediately backing down. It is possible that everything is not yet ready to give the system the necessary guarantees.
However, integrating a tool to facilitate the complete migration of an app to Telegram seems rather smart. Telegram could thus be, along with Signal, one of the applications that benefits the most from the haemorrhaging of users who quit WhatsApp following the implementation of new controversial terms of use .
