Question 1

Can I give the record to my divorce lawyer or mediator?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and many people do. We do not give legal advice, and what a family court accepts differs from country to country. Keep your original WhatsApp export and your phone, because the record is a copy. Ask your lawyer which format suits them: a PDF to read, or a CSV to sort.

Question 2

Can it find the money we talked about?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The summary lists the money mentioned in the chat, from the mortgage to a transfer for the car, each linked to its message. Search finds the rest, voice messages included. A summary can miss things, so open each message. Check amounts against your bank statements too, since the chat only shows what was said.

Question 3

How do I find threatening messages without reading them all again?

Accepted Answer

If you feel unsafe, talk to a support service or a lawyer before anything else. When you are ready, filter the record to your ex's messages and search for words you remember, voice messages included. Each result shows its date and number, so you can list them without scrolling through years of chat.

Question 4

We were together for years. Will the whole chat be there?

Accepted Answer

As much as WhatsApp puts in the export. A very long chat can come out shorter than you expect, and with media WhatsApp attaches only the most recent files. The free overview shows the first and last date, so you can check before you pay. Even tens of thousands of messages open in seconds.

Question 5

The chat has private photos. Are they uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. Photos, videos and documents in the export never leave your device, at any step. The record only shows that a photo was sent, with its date, time and file name. When you unlock, the message text and voice messages are sent over an encrypted connection, and you can delete the chat at any time.

Question 6

How much does a long chat with an ex cost?

Accepted Answer

One payment per chat, set by its size. A chat with up to 20,000 messages and 2.5 hours of voice costs $12. One with up to 50,000 messages and 6 hours costs $19. The free overview shows your exact price before you pay, and there is no subscription.
