How to Backup Telegram Chats On Android

To prevent data loss in case of a device loss, damage, or change, Telegram, just like WhatsApp, creates backups for all your chats. Telegram backups include text messages and media files that are stored within the application’s servers when you are using the app online.

When offline, you can save an offline copy of your Telegram backup to use it in the future. The copy will be exported and stored on your device’s storage and can be easily accessed and imported back to Telegram. This piece highlights how you can back up Telegram Chats on Android.
