Want to analyze your WhatsApp chat? Follow the steps below to save a conversation as a file on your phone. You can then open it in Brutal Verdict to see who texts first, who replies faster and how your conversations have changed.
Open the individual or group conversation you want to analyze, then follow the in-chat export flow.
Open the conversation and use its contact or group details page. WhatsApp may package the text history as a ZIP before opening the iOS share sheet.
A chat export is usually a TXT file or a ZIP containing the TXT. It is not an iCloud, Google Drive or encrypted WhatsApp backup.
If a shared file is only a few words long, WhatsApp probably sent a preview instead of the document. Saving to the phone first is the most reliable fallback.
Choose WhatsApp in Brutal Verdict and select the TXT or ZIP file you saved. The report shows who texts more, who starts conversations and how long each person usually takes to reply.
Raw messages are analyzed in your browser. You don't need to share your WhatsApp login, and optional AI features use summary numbers rather than the raw conversation.
Common questions
Choose without media. Brutal Verdict analyzes message text and timestamps, while photos and videos make the export larger without improving the supported text analysis.
No. An encrypted backup is designed for restoring WhatsApp. The analyzer needs the TXT or ZIP created by WhatsApp's Export chat feature.
Some share-sheet routes send preview text instead of the exported document. Save the export to Files or your file manager first, then choose that TXT or ZIP with the upload picker.
WhatsApp can export group chats, but Brutal Verdict currently focuses its relationship analysis on the two most active participants and flags group-chat metadata accordingly.
