Read WhatsApp messages on your computer in the Memora Keep client on Windows

Why it matters

The problems this solves

How this feature helps you keep and use your phone data.

Reading a long thread on a small screen

A conversation that spans years is awkward to scroll through on a phone. On a computer the same thread is easier to read and to move through.
Finding one message in years of history

Search within an open conversation and jump straight to a matching message.
Media that is hard to find again

Photos and videos sent in a chat are buried among everything else. In the viewer they preview and play next to the messages they came with.

How it works

How to use it

1
Open a conversation

Real data from the archive is rendered as conversation bubbles, under the account it belongs to.
2
Move through history

Scroll up to load earlier messages and down to load newer ones.
3
Search, preview, select

In-chat full-text search jumps to the matching message, images and videos preview in place, and messages can be multi-selected.

Capabilities

What you can do with it

Conversation bubbles Messages are drawn as chat bubbles from the real archive data.

Browse long conversations Earlier messages load as you scroll up and newer ones as you scroll down, so a long thread stays workable.

Search in the open chat Full-text search finds a message inside the conversation and jumps to it. There is no global search yet.

Media preview and playback Images preview and videos play inside the viewer, without leaving the conversation.
