The import of a WhatsApp chat into Telegram APPENDS the messages if you already have a chat with the contact. So, all the old messages from WhatsApp will be shown as the latest, post import. On the other hand, it's useful if you have a clean slate on the respective Telegram chat.

Nothing like this has ever been made possible by a major app, and our team had to implement some serious magic to make it work. We are happy with the result: moving messages to Telegram allows people to save disk space and stop worrying about third-party backups or changing devices.

We’ll also provide free APIs for third-party developers who want to create tools that will allow users to import messages to Telegram from anywhere. Hopefully, such tools will help add support for more apps than this first wave of three – and also allow users to import multiple chats or their entire inbox at once.
