Starting with version 1.3.13, the app allows exporting the chat history for individual conversations. The change log for the app looks as follows.
– Export data from individual chats using the '...' menu.
– Added a new night theme.
– You can now assign custom themes as night and day themes to quickly switch between them.
- Telegram Passport now supports more types of data including translated versions of documents.
– Improved password hashing algorithm to better protect Telegram Passport data.
The export chat history feature supports all kinds of conversations, including your personal Saved Messages, bots, channels, group chats and individual chats.
To export an individual chat history to a file in Telegram Desktop, do the following.
- Open the desired conversation in Telegram.
- Click on menu button with three vertical dots.
- Select "Export chat history" from the menu.
- In the next dialog, select the desired elements to export, such as photos, videos, audio files, and so on.
- Under Download path, you can browse for the folder which will store your exported chat history.
- Click on the Export button.
The app will notify you about finishing the export process.
The chat history will be exported to a number of HTML files. The media data, e.g. stickers, videos, images, etc, will be organized into subfolders.
The exported history looks closer to the default Telegram chat style. The feature doesn't apply extra styling like your current theme. Instead, it uses a plain white background and default colors.
