1. How Do I Get Back A WhatsApp Chat That I Exported Via Email?

Exporting conversations is easy, the trouble starts when users want to get their chats back and import. With no certain answers, the ambiguity for this process keeps increasing. The reason why you may not be able to get an answer for this elsewhere on the internet is that it is a tiresome process and almost impossible if you don't know where to look.

There is, however, an explanation behind this hassle. When you export your chat to the email address, the files you receive will be a .txt file and a .zip file if you chose media. The .txt file will consist of all your text including the timestamps and the .zip file will comprise your GIFs, images and videos, etc. Both of these files will be plain and even a little bland. Getting an exact backup of your chats in the manner you had them on your phone is not very easy. But, we do have a solution for it.
