Telegram has announced that users can now import chat history from other messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Line and KakaoTalk. The company said the feature works for both individual and group chats.

Android users wishing to bring their WhatsApp chats to Telegram can do so by choosing a contact, going to the three vertical dots next to the voice call symbol, and selecting More, then Export Chat. A Share bar will appear at the bottom for available options, from which users can select Telegram.
