Instagram Stories are the modern postcard. They're personal, ephemeral, and when done right, irresistibly shareable. Chat-wrapped stats cards are one of the most engaging formats circulating right now — and for good reason. They're personal, they're relatable, and they always make people tag each other.
Here's how to create the perfect story from your WhatsApp chat using ChatWrapped.
Step 1: Choose the Right Chat
Not every chat is story-worthy. The best candidates are:
- Long-running chats (6 months or more) that have rich data
- Emotionally significant relationships: partners, best friends, family
- Group chats with active members who'll appreciate seeing their stats
A chat with 10,000+ messages will generate dramatically more interesting stats than a brief conversation. Depth matters more than breadth.
Step 2: Export the Chat
Go to WhatsApp → open the chat → tap the name at the top → scroll down → Export Chat → Without Media.
The file will be a .txt file. Save it somewhere easy to find on your phone or computer.
Step 3: Upload to ChatWrapped
32:Go to chatwrappednow.vercel.app and click "Upload Your Chat File." Drag and drop your .txt file into the upload zone, or click to browse.

ChatWrapped analyzes your file entirely in your browser — no server, no uploads. Within seconds, your stats are ready.
Step 4: Select Your Relationship Type
This is the most important creative decision. Choose the relationship type that best fits the chat:
- Couple — for your partner. The rose-gold pink aesthetic is perfectly romantic.
- Best Friend — the golden friendship license is endlessly shareable and funny.
- Siblings — the rivalry report format is designed to go viral between siblings.
- Others — each theme is carefully designed for its relationship type.
Step 5: Download Your Card
Hit "Download Card" and you'll get a 1080×1920px JPG — exactly Instagram Story dimensions. No cropping, no adjusting, no hassle.

Posting for Maximum Engagement
A few tips that make chat wrapped posts perform better:
Tag the person. Always tag the person from the chat in the story. Their followers will see it. Their reaction (shared as a story) doubles the reach.
Add a question sticker. Overlay your card with "Can you guess which stat surprised me most?" or "Who texted first?" These drive DMs and replies.
Time it right. Post on your anniversary, their birthday, World Friendship Day (July 30), or National Best Friend Day (June 8) for maximum relevance.
Caption it. Even if stories don't have traditional captions, add a text overlay with a short caption: "3 years of chaos 💚" or "This is us and I love it."
The Viral Loop
Here's what makes wrapped cards so shareable: when someone sees your card, they immediately want to know their own stats. They download ChatWrapped, make their card, post it, and the loop continues.
