There used to be an Export to SD Card option 2-3 versions ago, but they removed it. Unfortunately the only way now is to take screenshots on your phone.

From my experience it is not absolutely necessary to submit chat logs as evidence. My wife and I chatted using QQ and Yahoo chat but did not submit our chat log files. . That being said we did submit a large quantity of other evidence, pictures, letters, cards, etc. If you cannot get the logs and have plenty of other evidence and have followed all of the processes correctly you will be just fine =)

I searched on how to download the chat history from my phone for a good long time. WeChat has their own custom encryption that the files are encoded with on the phone. Ultimately I just took screenshots. But I have other evidence stronger than WeChat chat logs that we will be using instead.

I took screenshots on my iPhone for proof years ago. I did 1 screenshot for every 2 weeks and it wasn't an issue.

However, like others have said, if you have kinds of proof you're more than likely just fine with that and you don't need to worry about chat logs. Plane tickets, cards, emails, etc are more than sufficient.

This is used with iPhone. Wechat computer app will extract the data as a backup to your computer via android but won't identify an iPhone. It's a Chinese site but the major download button can be found In English and the program will install in what ever chosen language. It takes a little playing around to figure out but it is like a 3rd party iTunes.

http://www.tongbu.com/zhushou/ Is the website. Goodluck

Hello, I was able to get the backup file to my computer, but does anyone have a program to open the backup file to cut and paste to word document?

I just wonder do they ever read the chat logs:D:D:D My wife did it two years ago, she had been interviewed and said hello what's his name, age......less than 10 simple personal questions. Then she had been approved.  Never read any logs or pictures:D:D:D.  Vetting?:huh:

Lovely song to share
