Chat Archive turns an imported conversation into a clear archive: readable in order, searchable by word or date, with included media, files, and voice notes kept in context. When it matters, save it as a readable PDF record.

Useful for

• Reading exported chats in a clean timeline.

• Preserving important conversations outside WhatsApp.
• Reviewing included photos, documents, attachments, and voice notes beside the messages they came with.
• Transcribing included voice messages with on-device speech recognition when supported by your iPhone and language.

How it works

1. Export a chat from WhatsApp as a ZIP file.
2. Open the exported ZIP file in Chat Archive.
3. Read, search, review media, transcribe voice messages, and create a PDF.
4. Check the imported chat and generated PDF, then unlock full access to save, share, or print when you are ready.
