Question 1

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your chat files are unzipped and parsed locally in your browser. Photos and videos never leave your device. Only the text and audio you opt in to transcribe are sent to our secure servers (encrypted in transit). Your chat is stored on our servers so your analysis stays accessible. You keep full control: delete your chat and any analysis anytime from your dashboard. Never used for ads or training, never shared with third parties. If you select a video, your browser extracts and sends only its audio track for transcription; the video and its visual content stay on your device.

Question 2

Is ThreadRecap safe for sensitive business conversations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your chat is parsed locally in your browser, and photos and videos never leave your device. Only text (and audio you opt in to transcribe) is sent encrypted for AI analysis. Your chat is stored on our servers so your analysis stays accessible. You keep full control: delete anytime from your dashboard. Never used for training, never reviewed by humans. Many users analyze business disputes, client negotiations, and HR conversations. If you select a video, your browser extracts and sends only its audio track for transcription; the video and its visual content stay on your device.

Question 3

Does ThreadRecap sell or share my data?

Accepted Answer

No. We never sell, share, or provide your data to third parties. Our revenue comes from credit purchases, not from your data. We have no advertising business and never use your conversations for any purpose beyond the analysis you request.

Question 4

How do I export a WhatsApp chat?

Accepted Answer

Open WhatsApp, open the chat, open its menu (the chat name on an iPhone, the three dots then More on Android), and choose Export Chat. Pick "Include Media" if you want the voice messages transcribed. WhatsApp then asks where to put the file: Save to Files on an iPhone, Save as file on a Samsung, Google Drive on any other Android. That last step is not optional on Android, because the file is not stored on the phone until you choose.

Question 5

What audio formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

We support OPUS, OGG, M4A, and MP3 when they appear in your export. Audio is processed through OpenAI's audio transcription API and merged into your conversation timeline.

Question 6

Can I analyze group chats?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with credits. For groups, you select which participants to include in the analysis (we recommend 2–5). The analysis centers on their messages while still using context from others. Group analysis costs 2x the base credit cost.

Question 7

What languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

The interface is available in 6 languages. Analysis results follow the language of the conversation, and you can translate audio transcripts to English.

Question 8

How can I summarize a WhatsApp group chat?

Accepted Answer

Export your WhatsApp group chat (three dots, then More, then Export Chat, then choose where to save it) and upload the .zip file to ThreadRecap. The AI analyzes the full conversation and produces a structured summary with key topics, decisions, and action items in seconds. You can then ask for more in the chat, like meeting minutes or a per-person breakdown.

Question 9

What tool analyzes WhatsApp voice messages?

Accepted Answer

ThreadRecap analyzes WhatsApp voice messages by transcribing them through OpenAI's audio transcription API. It supports OPUS, OGG, M4A, and MP3 audio formats found in WhatsApp exports. Transcriptions are merged into the conversation timeline so voice messages are included in summaries, meeting recaps, and dispute reports.

Question 10

How to get meeting notes from WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

Upload your WhatsApp chat export to ThreadRecap. After the automatic recap, ask the chat for structured meeting minutes: decisions made, action items with owners and deadlines, open questions, and follow-up items. It works for any WhatsApp thread with decisions, not just formal meetings.

Question 11

How to document WhatsApp conversations for business disputes?

Accepted Answer

ThreadRecap creates structured evidence reports from WhatsApp conversations. Upload your chat and ask for a dispute report in the chat: it generates a chronological timeline of events, extracts key agreements and commitments, preserves quoted messages as evidence, and organizes everything into a professional report suitable for legal review or mediation.

Question 12

How to catch up on a long WhatsApp group chat?

Accepted Answer

Export the group chat from WhatsApp and upload it to ThreadRecap. The initial recap extracts the key topics, decisions, and action items from the conversation. You can then use follow-up chat to focus on specific participants or filter out off-topic chatter.

Question 13

Can I transcribe WhatsApp voice messages to text?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ThreadRecap transcribes WhatsApp voice messages to text automatically. Export your chat with media included, upload the .zip to ThreadRecap, and OPUS, OGG, M4A, and MP3 voice messages are transcribed through OpenAI's audio transcription API. Transcriptions are merged into the conversation timeline; quality varies with the recording.

Question 14

How to create evidence reports from WhatsApp conversations?

Accepted Answer

Upload your WhatsApp chat export to ThreadRecap and ask the chat for a dispute evidence report. The tool generates a structured report with a chronological timeline, key agreements, direct quotes from participants, and identified commitments. Voice messages are transcribed and included in the timeline for complete documentation.
