Questions

Which chats can I turn into a book?
WhatsApp chats, one-to-one or group, exported from an iPhone or an Android phone. Other apps (iMessage, Messenger, Instagram) are not supported yet.
How much does the book cost?
$49 for a printed paperback of up to 300 pages, with the PDF and standard US shipping included. Books of 301 to 600 pages are $69. Seeing the whole book on screen first is free.
What does the book look like?
A 6 × 9 inch paperback with color pages and a matte cover. The messages are laid out as chat bubbles, each person on their own side, with the time, a heading for each day, color emoji and the photos the export included. It opens with a title page and a page of your story in numbers: the first message, how many messages you sent, the busiest day and your favorite emoji.
Are my messages uploaded?
No. The chat is read and the book is laid out in your browser, on your own device. Nothing leaves it while you make and preview the book. If you order the printed book, the finished book file and your shipping details go to our printer so it can print and mail it.
How long does printing and shipping take?
Standard shipping within the US takes about 11 to 13 business days after you order. For a date like a birthday or Valentine's Day, order three weeks ahead.
