Import
One-Tap Import
Import WhatsApp backup ZIP files directly from your device. WhatsConvo automatically detects the backup format and extracts all your chats, messages, and media files.
Smart Preview
Before importing, see exactly what's in your backup: chat names, message counts, media files, and date ranges. Make informed decisions about what to import.
Incremental Import
Already imported a chat? No problem. WhatsConvo intelligently detects duplicates and only adds new messages, keeping your archive up-to-date without redundancy.
Import History
Track all your imports with detailed activity logs showing success rates, message counts, duplicates skipped, and storage saved.
Browsing
Full Chat History
Browse your complete conversation history with the familiar chat interface. Messages are displayed chronologically with sender names, timestamps, and media references.
Smart Grouping
Consecutive messages from the same sender are grouped together, making long conversations easy to follow.
Date Navigation
Clear date separators help you jump to specific time periods in your chat history.
Color-Coded Chats
Each chat is automatically assigned a unique color for easy identification across the app.
Search
Global Search
Find any message across all your chats instantly. Search by message content, sender name, chat name, date, or media file name.
Smart Results
Search results show matching snippets with highlighted keywords, sender info, and timestamps. Tap any result to jump directly to that message in context.
Media
Unified Media Browser
View all your photos, videos, audio files, and documents in one beautiful gallery. Filter by media type to find exactly what you're looking for.

Memory Lane

Analytics
Visual Dashboard
See your storage usage at a glance with interactive charts showing breakdown by media type (images, videos, audio, documents).
Per-Chat Breakdown
Understand which chats use the most storage with detailed per-chat analytics and bar chart visualizations.
Deduplication Savings
Track how much storage space you've saved through WhatsConvo's intelligent deduplication system.
Deduplication
Exact Match Detection
WhatsConvo uses SHA256 hashing to identify identical files across multiple chats, storing each unique file only once.
Visual Similarity
For images, perceptual hashing detects visually similar photos (even with slight differences), preventing near-duplicate storage.
Space Savings
See exactly how much storage you've saved through deduplication, with real-time statistics on the dashboard.
Storage
Soft Delete System
Deleted media files are retained for 7 days before permanent removal, giving you a safety net to recover accidentally deleted files.
Scheduled Cleanup
Background cleanup automatically removes expired files, keeping your storage optimized without manual intervention.
Manual Control
View pending deletions in Settings and trigger manual cleanup whenever you need to free up space immediately.
Statistics
Overview Dashboard
Total messages across all chats, number of unique chats, participant count, message date range, and recent activity (7-day and 30-day counts).
Chat Insights
Most active chat identification, average messages per chat, and per-chat message and media counts.
Media Analytics
File counts by type, storage usage by type, and duplicate detection statistics.
Privacy
