Use a WhatsApp export to explore a chat recap while checking completeness, interpretation, and data handling.
Work from an export you are allowed to use
Wrapped summarizes a WhatsApp chat export that you select. It does not establish access to private conversations elsewhere, and it should not be used to analyze someone else’s history without permission. A chat export is a copy of sensitive conversation data; include only what you need.
WhatsApp’s export instructions explain how to export a chat. An export is not necessarily a complete record of every conversation, attachment, or historical message. Check which chat, dates, and media are actually present.
Interpret the recap as a summary of that file
Message counts, active periods, and participant summaries describe the imported material. Comparing two files requires comparable date ranges and similar export options. A shorter export should not be treated as proof of less interest or a weaker relationship.
AI summaries can misread jokes, missing context, or unusual formatting. Check an important conclusion against the original messages. A recap is not a psychological assessment, proof of trust, or evidence that two people communicated outside the file.
Check the data handling before importing
Read the current privacy policy and permission prompts to learn where the file is processed, what services receive it, and how any retained copies are deleted. This guide does not verify an on-device-only processing path, absence of server copies, or an automatic deletion schedule.
If a file is especially sensitive, remove unnecessary content before using any recap tool. Check your mail attachments, share destinations, backups, and saved exports as well as the app itself. Deleting an app or using airplane mode does not by itself prove that every copy has been deleted.
