## Description

You exported your chat history and want to actually read it again? WA Backup Reader has you covered – cleanly, searchably, and entirely offline.

------------------------------
A FAMILIAR CHAT VIEW
------------------------------

Your exported chat files are displayed exactly the way you expect: your messages on the right, incoming on the left, timestamps, system notices, and media references – everything in the right place. No more digging through raw text files.

------------------------------
FULL-TEXT SEARCH ACROSS ALL CHATS
------------------------------

Remember a message but not which chat it was in? The built-in search scans every conversation at once and jumps straight to the result – in a fraction of a second.

------------------------------
MEDIA GALLERY
------------------------------

Photos, videos, and voice messages from your chats are gathered in a clean, browsable gallery. Stop scrolling through lines of text to find that one photo – it's right there, sorted and easy to browse.

------------------------------
ONE-ON-ONE & GROUP CHATS
------------------------------

Whether it's a private conversation or a busy group chat with many participants – WA Backup Reader renders everything correctly. Sender names, system notices, and shared content are fully preserved.

------------------------------
FULLY OFFLINE & PRIVACY-FIRST
------------------------------

Your data never leaves your device. The app works 100 % offline – no sign-up, no account, no connection to any external server. No tracking, no analytics, no sharing. Your chat history stays yours.

------------------------------
EASY IMPORT
------------------------------

Import chat exports directly as ZIP or TXT files – via the Files app, AirDrop, or the Share sheet. No computer needed, no complicated setup.

------------------------------
GERMAN & ENGLISH
------------------------------

WA Backup Reader is fully available in both German and English.

------------------------------

WA Backup Reader is an independent third-party app with no affiliation to WhatsApp LLC or Meta Platforms, Inc. The app reads the standardised chat export format provided by common messaging apps.
