A few useful answers

Know what to expect.

Preparing WhatsApp records for a dispute, complaint or formal review? Here’s what to expect when you import, prepare, export and reopen your conversation.

Getting started

What can I import?+

One native WhatsApp TXT, a ZIP containing one identifiable chat and supplied media, or a supported saved UnPack Evidence Package. Screenshots and WhatsApp account backups are not supported native chat imports.

Can I use UnPack on my phone?+

The evidence workspace is designed primarily for laptop or desktop use, where file review, media and printing are easier to manage. You can read this website on your phone, then move your exported file to your computer.

Do I need an account?+

No account is required for the evidence workflow. There is no UnPack cloud evidence library. Keep your own source files and saved packages.

Is there an import size limit?+

The app applies a 512 MB local import limit (512 × 1024 × 1024 bytes). ZIPs are also limited to that expanded size and 10,000 entries. Device memory, browser capabilities and file contents can impose practical limits below these maximums.

Review and preparation

What can I do before paying?+

Import, read and search the conversation; review participants and available media; choose which dates to display; add case or document details and adjust presentation settings; and preview the prepared output. Print / Save as PDF and Save Evidence Package are the export-access boundary.

What happens if media is missing?+

UnPack shows missing-media indicators where a message references an attachment that was not supplied. It does not reconstruct missing media. Images depend on browser format support; audio/video can play locally, while other files have attachment records.

Do presentation settings change the original source?+

The source is kept separately from its rendering. Date filtering, participant placement, message references and partial number masking affect the presentation. Full identifying details may remain in the original TXT and media.

Will my work be there after I close the tab?+

Unsaved work is held in browser memory and may be lost on refresh or closing. Save an Evidence Package when export access is available, and save an updated package after changes. Keep independent copies of the original export.

Payment and packages

What does one export unlock include?+

Both Print / Save as PDF and Save Evidence Package for the imported chat, with repeat exports of the active paid project. The current integration is in test mode and does not collect real payment. Price and currency are shown before checkout.

Does changing a case or document title need another payment?+

No. Editing presentation settings in an active paid project retains access. A new native TXT or ZIP import starts a new unpaid project. A saved paid package can restore access after payment verification.

Does a recipient have to buy my paid package again?+

A recipient can import the saved package and restore its export access when the included signed receipt verifies. They do not need to buy that already-paid package again. Refunded or invalid payments do not restore access.

Does package access expire after 24 hours?+

The 24-hour period concerns temporary checkout records, not a saved paid receipt. Saved receipt access depends on successful verification and a valid payment; it is not a promise of permanent or unlimited service availability.

What if payment verification fails?+

Keep your saved package and retry verification before starting another purchase. A checkout return page alone is not payment confirmation. Contact support if the problem continues, without sending evidence files or private details about the dispute or review.

Is the PDF inside my Evidence Package?+

Save the browser-generated PDF separately. The package includes source, supplied media, saved settings, a local HTML rendering, a manifest and checksums, plus a signed payment receipt where available.

Privacy and evidence limits

Is my evidence uploaded to UnPack?+

Evidence processing takes place in your browser. Imported chats, media, case and document details, filenames and evidence hashes are not sent for remote evidence processing. Normal hosting metadata and separate payment requests still travel over the internet.

What does payment verification send?+

The app sends payment identifiers or a signed payment receipt, not the conversation or evidence hashes. Checkout is separate from evidence processing and is hosted by the payment provider.

Does UnPack make messages admissible or authentic?+

No. UnPack prepares a presentation of the supplied source. It does not authenticate messages, establish authorship, certify chain of custody or decide admissibility. A SHA-256 hash identifies bytes, not the truth or origin of a conversation.

Does number masking anonymise a package?+

No. Masking changes part of the rendered presentation. Original source and media may retain full numbers, names and other sensitive information. Review the package and use an appropriate sharing channel.
