Transferring chats from WhatsApp to Telegram for iOS is also easy. Here is a step-by-step guide to guide users to transfer their conversations using iPhone.

1.  After opening the WhatsApp messenger app, users have to find the chat they want to transfer and open it.

   3.  In the window that opens, users will need to scroll down and find the “Export chat” option.
   4.  Users who choose to export the chat will be able to attach or unsubscribe the media file, and users will be able to choose their preferred option.
   5.  When the export file is ready, users will have several options in the iOS share sheet. With the exception of Telegram, all the other options will share a .zip file containing conversations in a text document, along with files for sharing. However, by choosing Telegram, users will be able to select the contact with which they want to link the chat. Once you select the desired contact name, the entire message thread will be transferred from the Facebook proprietary platform to the Telegram chat window. Every imported message will be listed in this window.
