WhatsBackUp
Your WhatsApp archive. On your device. On your terms.
WhatsBackUp gives you a private, beautifully simple way to save, search, and revisit your exported WhatsApp conversations without relying on the WhatsApp app to keep your history accessible.
Private by design
Keep your exported chats accessible without giving up control.
Your exported chats stay on your device, where they remain under your control. No cloud archive, no forced syncing, and no unnecessary complexity.
WhatsBackUp is for people who want their chat history to remain readable, searchable, and private long after the export is complete.
