ChatRead - Chat Export Viewer

ChatRead opens chat exports from WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, Instagram, LINE, Viber, Google Chat, KakaoTalk, Discord, Skype, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Hangouts and SMS backups, and lets you read them comfortably on your phone — with the familiar bubble layout, full search, quick navigation by month, and detailed chat statistics.

WHY USE CHATREAD

Messaging apps let you export a conversation to a file, but that file is hard to read on its own. ChatRead turns it into a proper, scrollable chat view so you can read, search, browse, and analyze old chats — without them cluttering your messaging apps.
