Why Default WhatsApp Text Exports Fall Short
WhatsApp's native 'Export Chat' button on smartphones generates a plain .txt file where messages, timestamps, and sender names are jumbled together on single lines without any column separators or formatting.
Importing this text file into Excel requires complex delimiters, formula adjustments, and often results in broken multi-line messages.
