</div>
<p>Today’s Telegram update brings you an easy way to save conversations on your disk. In just a few taps, you can export some (or all) of your chats, including photos and other media they contain. As a result you’ll get all your data accessible offline in JSON-format or in beautifully formatted HTML. </p>
<p>To use this feature, make sure you have the latest version of <ahref="https://desktop.telegram.org">Telegram Desktop</a> installed on your computer, then click <strong>Settings > Export Telegram data</strong>. 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.</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 640px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<p>You can export individual chats by opening the <strong>…</strong> menu in any chat and choosing <strong>Export chat history</strong>.</p>
<h4><aclass="anchor"name="exceptions-in-notifications"href="#exceptions-in-notifications"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>Exceptions in Notifications</h4>
<p>Telegram was the first app to give its users notorious flexibility in fine-tuning how their message notifications work. Today we are taking this further by adding <strong>Exceptions</strong> to the notifications settings, where you can see which chats are excluded from the global settings you defined in <strong>Settings > Notifications</strong>.</p>
<p>We’ve been overwhelmed by the reception of <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/passport">Telegram Passport</a>– the tool to log into third-party apps that require real-life identity. Just two weeks after its launch, Passport can be used to sign up for many services, from established sharing economy services to blockchain startups.</p>
<div>
To name just a few projects that integrated Telegram Passport: <ahref="https://sumsub.com/"target="blank">Sum & Substance</a> (KYC & user verification), <ahref="https://cex.io/"target="blank">CEX.IO</a> and <ahref="https://xena.exchange/"target="blank">Xena</a> (cryptocurrency exchanges), <ahref="https://cryptopay.me/"target="blank">CryptoPay</a> (wallet), <ahref="https://youdrive.today/"target="blank">YouDrive</a> (carsharing), <ahref="https://profi.ru/">Profi</a> and <ahref="https://worki.ru/">Worki</a> (job marketplaces), <ahref="https://www.minter.network/"target="blank">Minter Network</a> and <ahref="https://minexcoin.com/"target="blank">Minexcoin</a> (blockchain startups), <ahref="https://www.kickico.com/"target="blank">KICKICO</a>, <ahref="https://cryptonomos.com/"target="blank">Cryptonomos</a> and <ahref="https://icoadm.in/en/"target="blank">ICOadmin</a> (ICO platforms).<br><br></div>
<p>Building on this success, today we’re upgrading Passport to support names in original languages and additional types of documents. We’ve also strengthened the <ahref="https://core.telegram.org/passport/encryption">algorithms</a> that encrypt Passport data to better protect your data against hacking attacks coming from Telegram (however unlikely those may seem). This way we further ensure that only you have access to your private data. </p>
<h4><aclass="anchor"name="source-code-and-apis"href="#source-code-and-apis"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>Source Code and APIs</h4>
<p>As always, you do not have to take our word on how our encryption works. The updated source code of Telegram apps reflecting all of today’s changes is available on GitHub and open for everybody to review. If you are a developer of a service that requires identity verification, make sure you check out <ahref="https://core.telegram.org/passport">these docs</a> explaining how Telegram Passport can be integrated into your app.</p>
