move_to_inbox 1. Native Parser Pipeline & Temporal Timeline Interleaving
Telegram parses exported archive archives (ZIP / TXT) directly through specialized client-side regex engines, mapping historical dialogue chronologically while tagging messages with an official "Imported" verification badge.
Imported messages respect their original dispatch timestamps, ensuring that past discussions appear in their true historical order without cluttering fresh notifications.
Each imported entry displays an unobtrusive "Imported" tag alongside the original sending timestamp for institutional transparency.
Photos, videos, and voice notes embedded in exported ZIP files are hashed and linked directly into Telegram’s unlimited cloud infrastructure.
