Highlights
The tool lets users import chats from WhatsApp and other apps
The new 7.4.1 update does not include the mention of the tool
Telegram has released a new update for its app on iOS and Android that includes a migration tool to let users import chats from WhatsApp and other messaging apps. The Telegram update for Android devices has the version 7.4. The mention of the new tool is part of the Telegram 7.4 update for iOS as well, but another update (Telegram 7.4.1) released soon after for Apple devices does not include the mention of the new migration tool. However, in our testing, users were able to transfer their chat history from WhatsApp on both Android and iOS after installing the latest respective versions. This could be good news for people who want to move away from WhatsApp after its contentious privacy policy changes. The new update also brings improvements to voice chats and audio player, along with new animations and stickers.
