Import the ZIP you exported from WhatsApp — or the JSON exports from Telegram, Facebook Messenger and Instagram — and read everything exactly the way it was written, complete with photos, videos, voice notes and documents. Everything works fully offline: your chats are read from the file you pick and never leave your phone.

MULTI-PLATFORM SUPPORT
Import chat exports from WhatsApp (Android and iPhone), Telegram Desktop (JSON), Facebook Messenger and Instagram (JSON downloads). Chat Viewer detects the platform automatically, shows a source badge on every chat, and picks up the real conversation title from inside the export.

FAMILIAR CHAT DISPLAY
Group and individual conversations appear in a clean, WhatsApp-style layout with date separators, sender names in distinct colors, timestamps, clickable links, emoji, and deleted-message and omitted-media indicators — the original context of your conversation, preserved. Choose who "you" are once and the app remembers it.

ALL YOUR MEDIA
Photos open full screen, videos play with scrubbing, voice notes play with a live waveform and progress, and PDFs or other documents open in your favorite app. A dedicated Media Gallery collects every photo, video and document from a chat into tidy tabs.

POWERFUL SEARCH AND NAVIGATION
Search any word and jump between highlighted matches with a live "3 of 17" counter. Jump straight to any day with the calendar picker, or filter a group chat to read messages from selected members only.

CHAT STATISTICS
See who talks the most, messages per member, media counts, the busiest weekday and hour, and the full date range of the conversation — computed instantly when the chat opens.

FAST WITH HUGE BACKUPS
Streaming import with live progress handles exports of hundreds of megabytes and thousands of messages smoothly, with instant scrolling and quick start-up.

DARK MODE
A true dark theme that follows your system setting — or switch manually with one tap.

MADE FOR PRIVACY
No account, no upload, no cloud. Chats are parsed on your device from the ZIP file you choose, and deleting a chat also removes its extracted files from storage.

REMOVE ADS FOREVER
A single one-time purchase removes every ad permanently — linked to your Google account and restorable on all your devices.

HOW TO EXPORT YOUR CHATS
• WhatsApp: open a chat → More → Export chat → save the ZIP
• Telegram: Telegram Desktop → Export chat history → JSON format
• Messenger / Instagram: Accounts Center → Download your information → JSON format
