Good to know
Choose Without media. Photos and voice notes make the file much bigger and aren't needed to read the conversation. iPhone saves a .zip file; Android usually saves a .txt file. Both work.
Exporting doesn't notify anyone in the chat. Using Instagram or Messenger instead? Upload screenshots of the conversation. More questions are answered in the FAQ.
