How to export WhatsApp chat as pdf

(Last Updated On: August 23, 2021)

Many times we wish to store our WhatsApp chats in our smartphones safely or wish to send the whole chat to a person as a pdf. But we wonder about the way to do it. We cannot just copy every text present there and forward it to the other person. It is technically very difficult for anyone to do so. Not only will it be difficult for you but for the other person. It will also get difficult to understand the conversation as the messages may be delivered randomly to them due to network issues, and all the things will become a mess. So, you need to export every text together as a pdf and then send it further. Learn How to export WhatsApp chat as pdf

There are various reasons why a person may need to export the WhatsApp chats as a pdf:

For legal reasons: You want to present your WhatsApp chat with a person as proof in the court, then you cannot just bring up your phone in the court and show the chats to the judge, nor you can use screenshots as it will be hectic and confusing with so many pictures to scroll.
