Chat Explorer

Chat Explorer turns your WhatsApp export into something you can actually revisit.

Search old messages, relive shared photos and videos, and understand the shape of private and group chats over time on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Built for exported chats you create yourself.

Share your WhatsApp .zip or .txt export to Chat Explorer and start browsing without connecting a WhatsApp account. Chat Explorer is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta.

Private by default.

Imported chats are stored and analyzed on your device by default. Search, browsing, media gallery, analytics, and timeline generation do not require uploading your chat archive. If you choose optional features such as AI prompt export or Apple server transcription fallback, the app asks before sharing relevant content outside the device.

Find what mattered.

Jump straight to the phone number, address, joke, plan, or tiny detail you forgot. Full-text search helps you reach the right message fast instead of scrolling endlessly through years of chat history.

Relive shared moments.

Browse a dedicated media gallery with the photos, videos, and stickers from your export in one place. Open any item full-screen and jump back into the exact conversation context where it was shared.

Understand the conversation.

Analytics and Timeline help you see message volume, response habits, emoji patterns, shared media, and milestones over time. Some advanced analytics, Timeline, and Wrapped cards require Pro.

Whether you want to find something specific, revisit a favorite memory, or better understand years of conversation, Chat Explorer makes exported chats worth keeping.
