How to export a WhatsApp chat on Android

WhatsApp on Android lets you export any chat as a .txt or .zip file. Here is how: 1. Open WhatsApp on your Android phone. 2. Navigate to the chat you want to export — a 1:1 conversation or a group chat. 3. Tap the three-dot menu icon (⋮) in the top right corner of the chat. 4. Tap "More". 5. Tap "Export chat". 6. Choose "Without media" for a .txt file containing only the messages. This is the recommended option for the WhatsApp Chat Binder. (If you want photos and videos included, choose "Include media" — this produces a .zip file.) 7. A share sheet will appear. Options include: - Save to your phone's storage via a file manager app - Send via email to yourself and download it on another device - Share directly to Google Drive or Dropbox 8. Once you have the file, upload it to the WhatsApp Chat Binder tool. Note: the menu wording may vary slightly depending on your Android version and WhatsApp version, but the path is always Settings → More → Export chat or similar.
