Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I move group chats with photos and videos?
Yes. As long as the group exists on Arattai and the export includes media, your group chats will transfer successfully.
- Are message timestamps retained?
Absolutely. The export process keeps all timestamps intact, and Arattai restores them accurately.
- Do I need the internet to import chats?
You only need internet access to install Arattai and verify your number. The actual import happens locally and doesn’t require a live connection.
- What if my contact isn’t using Arattai yet?
To complete the import correctly, the chat’s recipient or group should already exist on Arattai. Invite them to join before importing.
