Is there a way to import the chat to a private group? If possible, how is it supposed to be done differently?

I am getting this error using the group link

telethon.errors.rpcbaseerrors.BadRequestError: RPCError 400: IMPORT_PEER_TYPE_INVALID (caused by InitHistoryImportRequest)

AFAIK, the group must be supergroup - as there is no more "Convert to supergroup" option within client apps (at least Android and Windows), the easiest way to convert group to supergroup is to convert it to Public (which also converts the group to supergroup) and revert it back to Private (but the group remains supergroup).

Recent disccusion about the problem is here: https://github.com/filippz/telegram_import/issues/5
