Export Chat History. Use Telegram Desktop to make an offline reference copy of single chats or your entire account, including messages and media. To export an individual chat’s history, in the chat click ⋮ > Export Chat History. To export several chats at once, go to Settings > Advanced > Export Telegram Data.
