How to transfer a group from WhatsApp to Telegram on iPhone - briefly?

To transfer a group from WhatsApp to Telegram on an iPhone, you can use the "Export Chat" feature in WhatsApp and then import it into Telegram. Unfortunately, this process does not directly support group transfers; instead, you will need to manually invite your contacts to join the new group on Telegram.

How to transfer a group from WhatsApp to Telegram on iPhone - in detail?

Transferring a group from WhatsApp to Telegram on an iPhone involves several steps, as there is no direct way to migrate groups between these two platforms. However, you can manually recreate the group in Telegram and invite all members. Here's a detailed guide:

1. Backup Your WhatsApp Group:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the group you want to transfer.
   • Tap on the group name at the top to access the group info.
   • Scroll down and tap on 'Export Chat.' This will create a backup of your chat history in iCloud Drive.

2. Create a New Group in Telegram:

   • Open Telegram and tap on the pencil icon in the top right corner to start a new message.
   • Tap on 'New Group' at the bottom left corner.
   • Select the members you want to add to your new group. You can do this by tapping on 'Add Members' and selecting contacts from your phone book or by entering their phone numbers.

3. Name Your New Group:

   • Once you have selected all the members, tap on 'Next' at the top right corner.
   • Enter a name for your group and tap on 'Create.'

4. Share the Backup with Telegram:

   • Go back to WhatsApp and find the exported chat backup in iCloud Drive.
   • Tap on the three dots next to the file and select 'Share.'
   • Choose Telegram from the list of apps.

5. Send the Backup to Your New Group:

   • Select your new group in Telegram.
   • Tap on 'Send' to share the backup with the group members.

6. Access the Backup in Telegram:

   • Members of your new group can now access the shared backup.
   • They can tap on the file and select 'Open in...' to view the chat history.

While this method allows you to transfer your chat history, it's important to note that multimedia files (photos, videos, etc.) will not be transferred. Also, group settings like descriptions or specific permissions cannot be migrated directly. You may need to reconfigure these settings in Telegram manually.

By following these steps, you can successfully transfer your WhatsApp group to Telegram on an iPhone, preserving the conversation history for all members to access.
