WhatsApp TXT and ZIP
Open the WhatsApp TXT you already have.
Available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
What the source file gives TextTrace
What it does not contain
WhatsApp controls the export’s contents and limits. A missing attachment, deleted message, hidden account fact, or message outside the exported range cannot be reconstructed from the TXT. Review the result against the source you selected.
Choose the next format
Create a searchable PDF for reading, CSV for filtering, HTML for a portable browser archive, TXT for plain text, long PNG for a continuous visual copy, or RSMF 2.0 for a compatible specialist workflow.
