Print WhatsApp chat as a book
There are several online companies who can create a wonderful book from your WhatsApp conversations. They suggest that you forward your conversations by email directly, so they could print it asap.
👎 This method has a few major drawbacks, even though it is easy:
-
A long chat with photos and gifs can be too big to transfer by email;
-
If you care about your privacy, it is not recommended to disclose the contents of your message history to a third party;
-
You won’t be able to manually select the specific period or messages you want to include – it’s all or nothing;
-
You can try to edit your conversation and delete the unwanted parts, but it will definitely take a while.
That is why we recommend doing it by yourself with CopyTrans Contacts. Make a complete WhatsApp book with all your pictures & emojis.
