I’m trying to move away from Telegram. I have the iOS app but don’t see any option for downloading my chats or photos and videos sent to me. Has anyone done this recently and can give some pointers?

I used Telegram lite to export all chats, in the end you will get an index.html file and a bunch of folders. So you will be able to browse all chats in web browser.

Does it include videos and photos as well?

Yup, all media files will also be exported.
