Chat Archive vs TextTrace

Some conversations matter long after the phone that carried them. They hold a parent’s voice, the date of an agreement, a photograph, a receipt, the words that settled a decision. Chat Archive turns a WhatsApp chat export into a private, readable archive on your iPhone—carefully arranged, searchable, and ready to move with you. BUILT AROUND THE CONVERSATION A conversation is not only its text. It is the sender, the date, the reply, and the photo, document, or voice message beside it. Chat Archive reads the ZIP created by WhatsApp’s Export Chat command, identifies the messages and participants, and arranges the content included in the file in chronological order. Names, dates, media, and voice messages remain in context. A PRECISE, VISIBLE PROCESS 1. In WhatsApp, export the conversation. For the fullest archive, include media. This keeps the available photos, videos, voice messages, and attachments with the conversation. 2. Save or transfer the exported ZIP to the iPhone where you want to keep it. 3. Open it in Chat Archive, review what WhatsApp included, and confirm the import. The result is a readable backup outside WhatsApp: a separate archive you can return to on this iPhone or carry to a new one. MADE TO BE REVISITED Search across imported conversations. Within one conversation, refine by sender, date, time, weekday, file type, filename, or nearby context. Jump to the moment you need without scrolling through years of messages. Listen to voice messages included in the export at 1×, 1.5×, or 2×. Transcribe included voice messages on your device, then search what was said. Select one message, several messages, or a whole day. Save an excerpt, give it a title, and use Labels to bring related passages together across conversations. A RECORD YOU CAN READ, SHARE, AND PRINT Create a carefully composed PDF with messages in order, names, dates, and available images and transcripts. Save a PDF of the full conversation, or select a set of messages and create a focused PDF of only that selection. CHECK YOUR OWN ARCHIVE FIRST Import your first conversation and inspect the messages, search results, media thumbnails, voice messages, and complete PDF preview. IF A CONVERSATION WAS LOST If the chat still exists on an old phone, with the other person, or with a member of the group, export that copy and open it in Chat Archive. The conversation becomes readable and searchable again on your iPhone. YOUR CONVERSATION. YOUR IPHONE. Premium unlocks the complete conversation, its full voice-message history, and the complete PDF for saving, sharing, or printing. You choose the file. Imported conversation content is processed locally on your iPhone. Chat Archive is not cloud storage, so keep the original exported ZIP somewhere you trust. Chat Archive is independent and is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta. WhatsApp and Meta are trademarks of their respective owners.

Export text messages and chats as searchable PDF, CSV, HTML, TXT, PNG, or RSMF files while keeping names, visible dates, message order, attachments, and source context together. TextTrace helps you save, print, search, organize, and share important conversations. Prepare records for a lawyer, court review, HR, business documentation, personal archives, or preserving meaningful messages. BRING IN THE SOURCE YOU HAVE • Import a WhatsApp Export Chat TXT or ZIP file, including referenced media when available • Add screenshots or a scrolling screen recording from iMessage, SMS, WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, Signal, Instagram DMs, and other visible chat interfaces • On Mac, select supported WhatsApp conversations from an unencrypted Finder or iTunes iPhone backup REVIEW BEFORE YOU EXPORT • Search messages, people, dates, sources, and attachments • Check extracted text against the retained source • Organize conversations into folders • Keep source files separate from derived text CHOOSE THE FORMAT YOU NEED • Searchable PDF for reading, printing, and sharing • CSV for filtering and analysis • HTML for a portable browser archive • TXT for a simple transcript • Long PNG for a continuous visual copy • RSMF 2.0 for compatible eDiscovery workflows SOURCE-LINKED RECORDS TextTrace retains the source you selected and creates SHA-256 integrity metadata. A matching checksum can help show that an exported file has not changed since it was created; it does not prove authenticity or legal admissibility. PRIVACY AND CONTROL WhatsApp TXT and ZIP files are parsed directly. Visual imports show an on-device preview first. Cloud verification starts only after your consent. On Mac, supported local backups are opened read-only; TextTrace does not bypass backup encryption. IMPORTANT TextTrace does not recover deleted messages or certify evidence. Visual text recognition can contain errors, so compare important content with the retained source. Some features require a TextTrace Pro subscription.
