The Telegram app takes advantage of the recent controversy on WhatsApp which wants to update its terms of use and its privacy policy, to introduce a novelty to snatch users from the competition.
It has launched an update that allows you to switch to the app without losing the history of all conversations on WhatsApp.
The app update - Telegram explains on his blog - is available for both iPhone and Android.
Also, moved messages and content don't take up extra space.
The global discussion of WhatsApp privacy over the past few weeks resulted in more than 100 million people downloading Telegram in January.
At the expense of WhatsApp.
Data from analytics firm App Annie, as The Guardian writes, shows, for example, only in the UK that Facebook-owned chat went from the eighth most downloaded app in the country to 23rd.
After the privacy fuss, WhatsApp has moved the entry into force of the new policies to 15 May, which do not however affect Europe protected by the Gdpr shield, the European privacy law in force since 2018.
