As you already know, Telegram is one of the fastest-growing messaging apps at the moment. One thing that makes Telegram appeal to the masses is the number of privacy-focused features that have been integrated into the app.
There are a lot of things that users can do on the app. Some of those things are the ability to join a channel where you can get updates about maybe the stock market and see more wildlife, the ability to send muted messages so you do not disturb the reader, and many more.
Now, there is another feature that is sure to get users excited. Telegram users can now export their chats while still keeping them accessible and readable. Not only chats can be exported.
Users can export media and files as well. With this, users can even export their chats to avoid the loss of data in case of accidental deletion of chats or accounts. There are not many messaging apps out there that give you the ability to export your data. The export option is available on the desktop Telegram app.
