Straight answers before you drop a private chat into anything.
These are the most important questions about what Unpack My Chat does, what it needs and what its statistics can actually prove.
Analyse my chatHow to exportQuestions people ask
Is Unpack My Chat made by WhatsApp or Meta?
No. Unpack My Chat is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by WhatsApp or Meta.
Does Unpack My Chat upload my chat?
The core analyser is designed to parse the raw .txt export locally in your browser. The chat file does not need to be sent to a remote AI service for the analysis.
What file do I need?
Export the WhatsApp conversation without media and choose the ZIP or TXT export. X-Ray opens the ZIP locally for you.
Can I analyse a group chat?
Yes. Group mode compares participant activity, timing, conversation starters, words, emoji and other group-level statistics.
Can it tell whether somebody loves me or is cheating?
No. Message statistics cannot reliably prove love, cheating, compatibility or another person’s intentions. Unpack My Chat reports measurable patterns and leaves interpretation to you.
Why can reply-time numbers differ from another analyzer?
Different tools use different session thresholds and definitions. Unpack My Chat excludes very long offline gaps from ordinary reply timing and requires a sender change for a reply.
Does it read deleted messages?
Only if the exported text contains a deleted-message notice. It cannot reconstruct deleted message content that is not present in the export.
Which South African languages are available?
The text interface includes English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sepedi, Setswana, Sesotho, Xitsonga, siSwati, Tshivenda and isiNdebele. South African Sign Language requires a proper signed visual experience rather than a text translation.
How much history can I analyse?
X-Ray does not impose a message-count limit. It accepts TXT exports up to 50 MB and ZIP exports up to 150 MB; the actual time span depends on what WhatsApp includes in the export.
Can I share my results without sharing messages?
Yes. The share-card flow is designed around aggregate statistics and hides names by default unless you choose to include them.
What does the R49.99 payment unlock?
The teaser is free to view after analysis. R49.99 is a once-off payment for that specific X-Ray report and unlocks the full report, Time Machine, Moment Finder, Chat Museum, Yearbook, DNA, 2AM archive and sharing features. It is not a subscription.
Does Unpack My Chat export my WhatsApp chat for me?
No. You export the chat from WhatsApp yourself, then choose the ZIP or TXT file in Unpack My Chat. The site analyses the export; it does not connect to your WhatsApp account.
Does Unpack My Chat support Telegram or Messenger?
No. The current product is built specifically for exported WhatsApp chats. Telegram, Messenger and other messaging platforms are not currently supported.
