With zapptales, you can easily and securely upload your chat histories, and we professionally print them for you—no manual copying or technical skills needed. This way, you preserve valuable memories or create a unique gift from your chats. zapptales is the market leader with more than 10 years’ experience, offering top quality and international shipping.

I don’t want to design a book, I just want to save a PDF of my chat. How can I do that?

/in /by

Whatever you want to do with your chat, the first step is always to upload it to zapptales. The procedure for this is different for every messenger. Here you can find the respective instructions: https://www.zapptales.com/en/create-chat-book/

The PDF file costs up to 500 pages of chat 16.90 € (+ 1 € for every additional 50 pages). But don’t worry, the upload and design are free. Only when you decide on a product and place an order will there be costs for you.

Will all emojis, stickers, characters and smileys be printed?

/in /by

In general, it is possible to print any kind of WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, iMessage, Threema or Telegram messages – including all emojis, smileys, stickers and characters.

WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, iMessage, Threema and Telegram regularly update their smileys database, and we always do our best to keep up to date 😊 If you happen to still find a mistake regarding these special characters, please let us know.

Do I have access to the videos and voice messages even though I’ve only ordered a PDF? Do I still need a QR Code scanner?

/in /by

If you have ordered your book or PDF with QR codes, they appear in the PDF as well. In this case, you need a QR code scanner as well to access the videos and voice messages. 😊

I want to print my WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, iMessage, Instagram, Telegram or Threema chat as a book. How long can my chat be? Is there a data limit?

/in /by

There is no data limitation if you want to print your WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, iMessage, Threema or Telegram chat – your chat can be as long as you want. Very long chats are simply divided into volumes.

Is there a minimum length my chat needs to have to be printed as a book?

/in /by

There is no exact minimum length you chat needs to have – yet, to turn it into a book, it needs at least 36 pages. But don’t worry – if your chat has less than 36 pages, our software adds plain pages and you can still print a book. On these pages, you can add personal notes, write down your thoughts or add more pictures to make your book even more personal! 😊
