How it works
The receipt summarizes the imported conversation, including participant counts, activity and selected highlights. Use it as the starting point for detailed views.
Step by step
Open a saved analysis or the sample chat.
Select the overview tab and read the receipt from top to bottom.
Compare the message total and participant names with the intended export.
What to keep in mind
The receipt only covers messages present in the export. Deleted, missing or later messages cannot be reconstructed.
The sample chat is fully unlocked. Your own first analysis is free; Pro unlocks full Wrapped, sharing and unlimited analyses.
Questions and answers
What do the statistics actually measure?
Results describe the successfully parsed messages in the imported file. Missing history affects totals. Response times and conversation endings are timestamp rules, not read receipts or evidence of feelings.
Can I analyze more than one chat?
Your first analysis is free. Pro unlocks unlimited analyses, full Wrapped and sharing. See the app for current local prices. Each imported chat is analyzed separately; multiple chats in one archive are not a verified import path.
