WhatsApp (iPhone)

Export each chat with its photos as one .zip file.

1. Open the chat with your partner.
2. Tap your partner’s name at the top.
3. Scroll down and tap Export Chat.
4. Choose Attach Media to include photos, or Without Media for text only.
5. Send the file to your Mac, for example with AirDrop or Save to Files.
6. Put the .zip in your materials folder. You don’t need to unzip it.

Tip: WhatsApp limits how many messages one export can hold, and the limit is lower with media. For a very long chat, also export it Without Media to get more of the text, and keep the full history on your phone as the original.

Menu names can differ slightly between app versions. Keep your original exports; VisaDocket only reads them.
