NiGHtWolf Gamings (ID: 0000000cb227a796) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/23/2023 Hello guys, I am using this paid Chrome Extension since 3 or 4 years, when WhatsApp didn't restricted 3 months web chat limit option, I had many time conversations with WhatsApp team to remove this restriction, or provide us a proper way to export our chat with voice notes/images/videos/contact etc, but as usual, they denied everything. You guys can also appeal them to make WhatsApp more easier to us. Meanwhile I had conversation with "Fatty Noparents" then owner / creator of "Backup WhatsApp Chats" chrome extension. What he has given us is really worth to use, but because of limitation of WhatsApp his team can't do more then this that we are expecting. WhatsApp has put everybody in a cage, i have 27GB WhatsApp data in my mobile and i want to export them to PDF or any other format, and this extension is a hope. This team is doing very well with a small amount for the lifetime. Please support them and don't put negative comments and what you peoples can do, just ask to WhatsApp about these limitations and ask them for solutions. Regards, NiGHtWolfXS202 Gamings
