How to attach a WhatsApp chat to a consumer complaint

The portals take a PDF, not audio. Upload the export of your chat with the company and get a dated record, every voice message written out, ready to attach.

  • Les photos restent sur votre appareil ; d'une vidéo, seule la piste audio extraite par votre navigateur est envoyée.
  • Analyse à partir de $3

How it works

1

Export the conversation with the company

In WhatsApp, open the chat with customer service and export it with media. With media, the agent's voice messages travel inside the .zip.

2

See the price and confirm

Consultez le prix exact sur l’écran d’import. Débloquez la conversation complète seulement si elle en vaut la peine.

3

Download the record and attach it

Download the record as a PDF and attach it on the portal. The same record also comes as a much smaller TXT, for a portal with a tight limit.

Before you attach it

Each portal has its own attachment limit. The export steps are in the Android and iPhone guides. For a text-only chat, the free reader already makes the PDF at no cost.

What each portal accepts

Read on each portal's help pages in September 2026. The portals change these rules without notice, so check before you send.

  • consumidor.gov.br: up to 5 attachments of up to 1 MB each. It takes PDF and TXT, with a file name under 80 characters.
  • Reclame Aqui: up to 3 files in PDF, PNG or JPG, up to 5 MB, and only when the complaint is published.
  • Procon: each Brazilian state runs its own system. On Procon-SP, up to 6 files of up to 2 MB each.
  • consumidor.gov.br and Reclame Aqui take no audio file. What was said in a voice message reaches the complaint only in writing.

Where to save the export

Do this on the phone that holds the chat with the company, before you delete anything. The last step is the one that goes wrong most:

  • Appuyez sur Google Drive et enregistrez-y le fichier. Certains téléphones affichent aussi Enregistrer comme fichier, qui le place dans Téléchargements.
  • Sur iPhone, appuyez sur Enregistrer dans Fichiers et choisissez un emplacement. Le .zip est réellement enregistré, et vous pouvez le retrouver dans l'application Fichiers.
  • L'export n'a pas de dossier fixe. C'est le panneau de partage qui décide où il arrive : l'application Fichiers sur iPhone, Google Drive sur Android, ou une boîte de réception quand il est envoyé par e-mail.

What the record does not do

It organizes the conversation for whoever reads the complaint. What happens next depends on the agency and on your case.

It does not promise that the complaint is accepted or that the company answers. ThreadRecap gives no legal advice.

It does not prove the conversation was never altered. No tool can prove that from an export, so keep the original .zip and the chat on your phone.

A machine writes out the voice messages, and machines mishear. Check the lines that matter most before you attach it.

Key benefits

  • The conversation with the company in order, with a date and time on every message
  • Every voice message from the agent written out where it was sent
  • A PDF to attach and a smaller TXT for the portal with a 1 MB limit
  • The price of the whole conversation on screen, before anything is processed
  • The name of whoever sent each message, as the export records it
  • No promise about the outcome of your complaint

Common complaints

An order that never arrived

The shop promised a date and a refund on WhatsApp, then stopped answering.

A charge that should not exist

The phone company's agent confirmed the cancellation in a voice message, and the charges kept coming.

A repair that never happened

The technician agreed the job in a voice message and never came back.

A trip that went wrong

The agency moved the flight by message and will not return the difference.

Vos questions, nos réponses.

The portals take attachments, and the conversation with the company is often the one that shows what was agreed. How much weight it carries depends on the agency and on your case, and no tool guarantees the outcome.

consumidor.gov.br and Reclame Aqui take no audio file. That is why every voice message becomes text in the record, with the date it was sent, and whoever reads the complaint listens to nothing.

The same record also comes as a TXT, which is much smaller, and consumidor.gov.br takes TXT. Check the file's size before you send it.

Only if the chat has voice messages. Without media, the export carries the text alone. With media, it also carries the voice messages, which become text in the record.

The price follows the size of the conversation, with its voice messages counting towards that size. It shows on screen before anything is processed, and one payment covers the whole conversation.

No. The company sees only what you attach to the complaint. On Reclame Aqui, attachments are visible to you and the company only, never to the public.

Confidentialité et sécurité

  • L'analyse de la conversation s'effectue localement dans votre navigateur. Pour l'analyse par IA, le texte est envoyé avec les données de carte et de banque, les numéros d'identité et les mots de passe remplacés par des marqueurs.
  • Votre conversation est stockée sur nos serveurs afin que votre analyse reste accessible. Vous en gardez le contrôle total : supprimez-la à tout moment depuis votre tableau de bord. Elle n'est jamais utilisée pour l'entraînement de modèles et n'est partagée qu'avec les prestataires qui font fonctionner le service.
  • Photos, fichiers vidéo et leur contenu visuel ne quittent jamais votre appareil. Pour la transcription, nous envoyons le texte du chat et l'audio de chaque message vocal, y compris la piste audio extraite par votre navigateur de chaque vidéo.
