WhatsApp does not allow bulk export of all chats at once. This is because your messages are end-to-end encrypted — even WhatsApp cannot access them as a bulk file. Export your most important chats one at a time. We recommend starting with your 5 to 10 most active chats.
Which chats are worth exporting? Focus on chats that cover significant life periods — close friends you have messaged for years, family group chats, and any chat that was active during important moments in your life. Quality beats quantity. The more meaningful the chat the richer your Ori story becomes.
