WhatsApp chat guides

Everything here starts with the same file: the transcript WhatsApp creates when you use Export chat. These guides cover getting that file off your phone, keeping it somewhere you control, reading it outside WhatsApp, and deciding how much of a conversation to show someone else.

  1. Start with an export
