You can export a copy of the chat history from an individual or group chat utilizing **[WhatsApp's](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/32503/what-is-whatsapp)** export chat feature. You have the ability to send up to **10,000 recent messages**. You can send **40,000 messages** without attaching anything while exporting. These limitations are imposed by the maximum email size. The WhatsApp chat will be sent to your inbox via email, which is a simple process. However, this can take some time to upload, and large files may not work in some cases.

Your WhatsApp conversations are automatically backed up and saved to your **phone's memory** on a daily basis. You may also back up your **WhatsApp chats to Google Drive** on a regular basis, depending on your preferences. If you want to uninstall WhatsApp from your phone without losing any of your messages, make a **manual backup** of your chats first. Your WhatsApp interactions with a **client, supplier, retailer, wholesaler, or manufacturer** could also be exported for business documentation purposes. You can also opt to export media files (**pictures, GIFs**, and so on).

It may be important to save a WhatsApp conversation or chat for official purposes. Here's how to export WhatsApp conversations step by step.

## Here's how to save WhatsApp conversations:

- On your phone, open **WhatsApp**.\
- Now you can start a **private or group chat**.\
- Then tap on **More options**, which is represented by **three dots**, followed by **More**.\
- Select **Export Chat** from the drop-down **menu**.\
- You can choose whether to **export with or without media**.
- Your chat history will be attached as a**.txt document in an email**.

If you opt to attach media to the WhatsApp chat while exporting it, the most recent media sent will be included as **attachments**.\
