Chat Memory Archive turns an exported chat archive into a conversation you can scroll through again — the way it looked when it happened. Open a chat export (such as the .zip created by WhatsApp's "Export Chat" feature) or an extracted folder, from your device or iCloud Drive, and it rebuilds the conversation into a familiar chat view: message bubbles, dates, photos, videos, and voice notes with playback. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Chat Memory Archive has no accounts and makes no network connections of its own. Your conversations are read and indexed only on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing is collected. LIGHT ON STORAGE When your archive lives in iCloud Drive, only what you actually view is downloaded — the chat text right away, and each photo or video only when you open it. Your archive stays where it is; the app doesn't copy it. FEATURES • Message bubbles with dates, senders, and read-style layout • Photos, videos with previews, and voice messages with a waveform player • Full-text search within a chat, with jump-to-message • A media gallery for each chat • Set a photo for anyone in the conversation • Adapts to your iOS text size Chat Memory Archive is a viewer. It never sends or posts messages, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by any messaging service.
