How can I import this exported chat later?
Thanks!!!!

Yes this is right way to save chat history on WhatsApp ! I'm completely agree with this way but some it be fail, When we restore chat history on WhatsApp. So WhatsApp get fail to get chat history.... Why ?

Saving a chat by emailing it is a nice method to archive your chat. BUT: In my case this function limits the numer of media (images, voice notes) to a total of 29 (i.e. 30 including the text body).

This is in some cases very awful, e.g. if somebody uses to talk instead of typing (resulting in a large bunch of audio files, at least more than 29).

What can I do? Is there a way to configure that limitation? To set it to a higher value?

Thanks,
