Unfortunately, there is no feature to import chat histories. Adding them one by one means you can only include key conversations.

However, there is an [Upload Document] feature at the bottom. You can export your chat history as a document and upload it there. It supports common image and document types.

If you want to import contacts in bulk, it supports importing from Google Contacts.

The dashboard homepage displays contacts and some reminders.
