macOS export feature

[ParityError]

I'm a bit confused; according to the following information an export feature should be available:

https://telegram.org/blog/export-and-more

---

To use this feature, make sure you have the latest version of Telegram Desktop installed on your computer, then click Settings > Export Telegram data. This tool will be particularly useful for users who have millions of messages and can’t easily access the oldest parts of their messaging history.

I see no such thing in the latest macOS version 5.7 (181196) Stable — am I blind or has the feature been removed?

I think this feature is only available in Telegram Desktop and not Telegram for macOS https://desktop.telegram.org

Hi @overtake are you interested in this feature? If so we can discuss about the implementation.

I also linked to this issue from this Stack Exchange comment.

hi any progress on this? I'm trying to recover a cleared chat that's cached on my macbook. I know the app's files are stored in ~/Library/Group Containers/*.ru.keepcoder.Telegram but that's as far as I got. HELP!!! 🙇🏾‍♂️

[andrii-myronenko]

+1 this feature would be really useful

[CrossWorks777]

+1 and also free to work on this if needed

[gmerlino]

+1.

Even in my case, I need to recover a (otherwise cleared, and thus lost) chat that's cached solely on my Macbook

Anyone who figured out issues with export local data? I tried to move cache to Telegram-Lite program cache, but i think cache files have different structure.

It makes no sense to keep export chat on Telegram Lite only.
It's been 5 years, please add this feature to the main macOS/desktop app!

Please @overtake 🙏
