Why move your chats to Arattai?
Moving chats can help when you want to:
- Keep important messages and memories.
- Continue conversations without gaps.
- Make a full switch to Arattai with less hassle.
- Transfer only the chats you care about, one at a time.
If you want a smooth transition, importing chats is the way to go.
What to prepare first
Before you begin, check these points:
- Install and set up Arattai on your phone.
- Update WhatsApp to the latest version.
- Have enough free storage on your device.
- Make sure the chats you want still exist in WhatsApp.
- Be ready to export chats individually (it’s a per-chat process).
Once that’s ready, follow the steps below.
Step 1 — Export the chat from WhatsApp
WhatsApp lets you export any chat or group. Do this for each chat you want to move.
How to export:
- Open WhatsApp and open the chat or group.
- Tap the three-dot menu (top-right).
- Choose More → Export chat.
- Pick Include media or Without media:
- Including media saves photos, videos, and voice notes but makes the file bigger.
- Excluding media is faster and produces a smaller file.
- From the share options, either save the exported file to your phone or choose Arattai if it appears.
You’ll now have an exported file ready for import.
Step 2 — Import the chat into Arattai
Now move the exported file into Arattai where you want the messages to show.
How to import:
- Open Arattai and go to the chat or group where you want the history.
- Create a new chat or group if needed.
- Open the chat settings and look for an Import option (this is usually in chat settings or a menu inside the chat).
- Select the exported WhatsApp file you saved earlier.
- Confirm and let Arattai process the import.
When finished, the messages should appear in that Arattai conversation.
Step 3 — Verify the imported content
After the import completes, do a quick check:
- Messages should display in the correct order.
- Media should open if you included it.
- The chat should load without lag.
- Group settings and members might need to be adjusted manually.
- Very large chats might only import recent messages.
If everything looks right, you’re done.
Quick fixes for common problems
If the transfer fails or something looks off, try these tips:
- Update both apps to the newest versions.
- Free up storage space and try again.
- Export again, this time without media, then import.
- Restart your phone and repeat the steps.
- Make sure the exported file wasn’t damaged during saving.
- Import chats one at a time instead of bulk actions.
These small steps fix most issues.
