Pain Points You May Encounter and Migration Goals

Most people focus only on "switching clients" when migrating, but the real difference comes down to whether the new client can reliably read your data. You may encounter issues such as:

• After migration, gaps in the message timeline: You can see historical messages, but some content, such as images or files, may be incomplete.

• After migration, multi-account management becomes confusing: You need to view different numbers on the same device, and switching between them takes time.

• After migration, search and navigation are too slow: You need to quickly find people or keywords across groups, channels, and saved messages.

• After migration, spam and ads in groups become more annoying: You want stronger filtering in the new client.

• After migration, privacy controls are inconsistent: Warnings and blocking behavior for the same account vary across clients.

Your migration goal is simple: use the right method to read existing cloud content in the new client, add any needed exported files, and enable settings in Turrit that directly improve reading efficiency.

Before migration: prepare your account, permissions, and data scope

Before exporting, first clarify which types of data you need to migrate. In the Telegram ecosystem, chat content mainly relies on cloud archives and account synchronization. So before migrating, do these three things:

1. Confirm your sign-in method: If you plan to keep using your original account on the same device, prioritize keeping the session consistent.

2. Confirm what you need: Do you only need chats to remain readable, or do you need exportable offline files?

3. Prepare Telegram Desktop: Exporting chat history and all data is usually easier on the desktop version.

To make your later steps reproducible, first list the conversations you plan to export. Separate them by group, channel, or private chat, and mark the time periods that matter most to you.

Export from the official client: chat history and all data

If you need exportable files to save for backup or migration checks, start with Telegram Desktop. The official export process is straightforward and reduces uncertainty about missing content when you rely only on signing in.

Export chat history (single conversation)

1. Open Telegram Desktop.

2. Open the conversation you want to export.

3. Click Settings (three dots ...) in the upper-right corner of the conversation.

4. Select Export chat history.

After exporting, you will get an offline copy of the conversation, suitable for migration checks or archiving.

Export all Telegram data (full backup)

1. In Telegram Desktop, open Settings.

2. Open Advanced.

3. Choose Export Telegram data.

4. Select the types of data you want to export.

If you want to cover areas such as account information and media indexes, this step is closer to a “complete data transfer.” See the official documentation and terminology reference: Telegram API Overview (including data and object concepts).

Complete the setup in Turrit: multiple accounts, interface, and reading

After completing the official export backup, you can shift your primary usage to Turrit. You’ll find that the migrated experience feels more like a utility client, especially if you frequently search, switch between accounts, or read many channels and groups.

Sign-in and Multi-Account Setup

Turrit supports signing in to up to 8 accounts (10 for Premium subscribers). You don’t need to keep switching between clients; you can manage multiple numbers in one workflow.

• Go to Turrit Settings and select Add Account.

• Follow the prompts to complete sign-in.

If you are migrating several numbers at once, we recommend importing and checking only the most important account first. Confirm that its message timeline is working normally, then add the remaining accounts one by one.

Interface settings for more efficient reading

Turrit lets you switch between side navigation and bottom navigation, so you can choose the layout that is most convenient for you. You can also enable Quick Search (which supports toggling search with or without #) to find groups, channels, and saved content faster.

The table below can help you assess whether your data migrated successfully and how to get more out of the app afterward.

A practical workflow: from export to ready-to-use

Here is a practical process you can follow. The goal is to let you quickly verify your data after migrating, continue saving content, and improve your day-to-day experience.

1. Export a backup from Telegram Desktop first: prioritize key conversations so you can verify them offline. For a more complete export, use Export Telegram data.

2. Sign in to Turrit with the same number: first sign in to your primary account and confirm that the conversation list and media messages load correctly.

3. Enable a multi-account workflow: add more accounts as needed (Turrit supports up to 8 accounts; Premium members can use up to 10).

4. Cross-check with a search: Use Global Search to find the keywords or messages from the time period you just exported, and confirm that they are read consistently.

5. Enable the translation and browsing enhancements you need: If you often view links in other languages, turn on real-time page translation (Page Translation). If you need to understand messages sentence by sentence, enable the message translation tool.

6. Set filtering rules to reduce noise: For spam ads and bot flooding, use keyword blocking or message filtering to reduce interruptions.

7. Organize frequently used media and files in Cloud Drive: When you need quick access, avoid relying only on an accumulation of items in Saved Messages.

Note: If some media takes longer to load during migration, first check your network status and wait for synchronization to finish. This saves more time than repeatedly signing in.

Turrit features for a smoother experience after migration

After connecting your data, you will care more about whether the new client is easier to use. Turrit makes many experience enhancements available as toggleable tools. Here are some key points by use case.

Translation (better suited to multilingual content)

• Translate Before Sending (AI Translator): Translate messages into the target language before sending.

• Real-Time Chat Translation (Free Real-Time Translation): The entire conversation displays translations as you scroll.

• Real-Time Page Translation (Page Translation): Translate webpages in the in-app browser or Instant View articles as you open them.

• AI Calibration: Personalize translation results to make accuracy more consistent.

For more authoritative background on translation rules or terminology, refer to Telegram Official API and Object Concepts to understand the structure of messages, entities, and content presentation.

Downloads and Acceleration (Better for Large Files or Slow Networks)

• Upload and Download Speed Acceleration: Customize speed limits in Settings and enable automatic resumption triggered by Wi-Fi or mobile data.

Channels and Content Feeds (Better for Frequent Information Reading)

• Scroll Channel Flow: Scroll through channel updates like a feed.

• Video Flow: Browse videos in All Chat, much like short-form video content.

• Gesture Controls: Swipe during video playback to adjust progress, brightness, and volume.

Privacy and Filtering (Better for Reducing Harassment and Ads)

• Privacy Detection: Check for privacy risks and improve protection with one tap.

• Keyword Blocking and Channel Ad Filtering: Long-press a message, choose a blocked word, and manage the rules in Settings.

• Block Specific Users (Group Readability): Hide messages from specific users in groups to reduce disruptive flooding.

Storage and Organization (A better way to free files from chats)

• Unlimited Ultra cloud storage (Cloud Drive): Organize photos, videos, music, and files in one place, then share them with others as needed.

• Playback Management and Favorites: Find frequently used resources more quickly.

Other Experience Improvements (Useful right after migration)

• Channel Aliases: Assign a local alias to each channel to help you remember what it means.

• Spoof high-performance devices: Make the server treat the current device as a high-performance device.

• Hide sponsored proxy channels: Hide sponsored ads when using the built-in proxy.

• External sticker cache: Share sticker packs with other apps.

• Pangu spacing: Insert spaces between full-width and half-width characters to improve readability.

• Long-press the top-left menu on the main screen: Show recent chats and reduce back-and-forth page switching.

• Search “Nagram” on the main Settings page for custom settings: a better way for advanced users to make fine-grained adjustments.

For more tool details, review and enable each option in Turrit’s Settings.

Installation and Download: iOS / Android / Official Website

You can get Turrit from an app store or the official website:

FAQ: Common long-tail Q&A

Q1: After exporting my chat history, do I need to import it into Turrit?

A: Usually, signing in to Turrit with the same account is enough to access cloud chat history. The main purpose of exporting chat history is offline backup and verification. If some content takes time to load, wait for synchronization to finish instead of immediately repeating the import process.

Q2: Is there a limit to the number of accounts supported by Turrit when migrating multiple accounts?

A: Turrit supports signing in to up to 8 accounts (up to 10 for premium members). You can sign in to your primary account first to verify it, then add the remaining accounts one by one to make troubleshooting easier.

Q3: I often read channels in other languages. How can I reduce reading delays after migrating?

A: In Turrit, you can enable real-time page translation for links and Instant View, then enable real-time chat translation to understand entire conversations. This lets you switch quickly between ways of understanding content as you scroll.
