NOTE: Since Android 11, access to certain folders has been restricted for all apps - including the WhatsApp folder, which contains the media you sent. In order for the zapptales app to export these media files from WhatsApp, it is therefore necessary that you grant the app access to all files. In fact, the app only accesses the WhatsApp folder. You can give the app the relevant permission before the upload process.

Our friendly customer support team is happy to help you with any questions you may have.

These are some of our customers’ reviews:

• “As unique as the DNA. A really great gift. We were both speechless.”
• “A great idea and the book is really high quality. The perfect present”
• “Great quality… like the very own diary, but much more beautiful. Fast delivery and very good support… everything great… already ordered two books”.
• “I am amazed. The upload of the chat worked perfectly, even though there were a lot of pictures in the chat. The process is very well explained and the step by step tutorial and is easy to follow, even for tech-dummies like me. There are a lot of personalization options for the book. The books are really high quality. It was a gift for our second anniversary and my husband was really, really happy”.

Ratings and reviews

Interesting concept, but missed the mark, uploaded couple years worth of chat with videos, pictures, voice... took an hour or 2 to complete only to be told that the pictures videos and voice I would have to add manually, which defeats the purpose of the app. Hopefully they figure it out in the future, but right now unless you're doing a short chat and easily can upload the videos and voice..not worth the time .

Really disappointing app. It took 14 hours to download the chat from WhatsApp, during which time, you couldn't leave the app or else it would cancel the download. Once downloaded, it didn't have any of the media files (photos, videos, GIFs etc). You had to put these in manually. I started to do this and soon realised the captions for the media are not included, which means the conversation printout is then very confused as the caption comments are often crucial parts of the conversation. Lame.

In all honesty, I found this all a bit average. The app only allows you to do so much and it really needs to be done on a desktop. You have no freedom in making the text bigger or moving the whatsapp message around to space it out - so instead everything was squeezed onto 28 pages and then i had 16 pages or so of blankness. When the book arrived in the post it had been stuffed into the packaging as the front cover and the first 5 or so pages was bent over. It is what it is, but far from impressed and won't use again. On a side note, I wasn't even going to write a review but Zapptales emailed me asking for one...there you go.
