Although we can backup and restore WhatsApp chat history easily, sometimes we still want to keep them with paper-shuffle for another backup. So when we cannot sign into our account or open the email inbox where the backup is uploaded, we can access it. And sometimes we want some important WhatsApp conversation written in black and white. In these cases, we would like to export the conversations and print WhatsApp chat history. In the below section, we will separately show two method to do that.
