How to Export WhatsApp Chat for Analysis

Learn how to export a WhatsApp chat on iPhone, Android, and desktop, then analyze it privately with charts, recaps, and shareable insights.

Why Export Matters

Most people first discover a WhatsApp analyzer by searching how to export a chat. If export feels confusing, they never reach the product.

This page solves that first step clearly, then connects the export action to stats, recaps, compatibility reports, and shareable moments.

What Happens After Export

Once you have the `.txt` or `.zip` file, WhatsApp Chat Stats can turn it into message charts, group chat breakdowns, wrapped-style recaps, funny awards, and nostalgic timelines.

All analysis stays private and runs directly in the browser, so exported messages do not need to be uploaded to a server.
