Getting your chats from third party services
Every chat service has its own way of exporting your conversations. Read the FAQs of your chat provider for more information on how to get your conversations in a text file. In this guide, I will show you how to get them from one of the biggest messagging apps: WhatsApp
| First, open your chat | Tap the top of the Chat to access your partner's info | Send the e-mail to yourself |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
| Those messages are the ones that you are going to import into Telegram | Open the menu and choose "send as e-mail | Just send the e-mail to yourself |
Take in mind that is only possible to import messages and NOT media in Telegram Chat Importer. Media (such as photos, voice notes...) are not supported in txt files. That's why WhatsApp doesn't export them and Telegram Chat Importer can't take care of them.
Open the file using an editor of your choice. Your exported txt file will look something like this:
In our example, the conversation is between ferferga and Diego Velázquez. Take note of the exact names of the people involved in your conversation (including accent marks, spaces...), you will need them later.
