Turn your WhatsApp group chat into a book for the gang

Printed copies are paid, and you can order one for everyone in the group.

1. Cover

   Your group's name and the years the chat covers, over a photo from the chat or one you pick. For example, 'Chai Pe Charcha' 2019 to 2026: 48,000 Messages, 1 Gang.

2. Meet the gang

   A page for each member, by first name or nickname, with the title the group would give them: always late, the planner, the foodie, the drama, the therapist or the one with the car. Phone numbers are never printed.

3. Where it all started

   The first message in the chat, the day the group got its name and the early photos, so the book opens the way the group did.

4. Chat stats

   Infographic pages built from the chat: who texts first, who replies last, the most-used emojis, the busiest day, the longest late-night streak and the message that got the most replies. Captions can be in English, Hinglish or Hindi.

5. The threads you still quote

   AI picks the funniest and most loved conversations and lays them out as simple chat bubbles, next to the photos shared at the time. Each excerpt is short, so the pages stay easy to read, and you can swap any thread in the preview.

6. Running jokes and gang awards

   The words, nicknames and inside jokes that keep coming back appear the way you use them, and they are never explained. Award pages hand out titles from the who's-who chips you chose.

7. Voice notes and videos

8. The last page

1. What's the group called, and what do you all call each other? (e.g. 'Chai Pe Charcha', Annu, Pagli)
2. How did the gang meet, and roughly when? (tap: school, college, hostel or PG, work, neighbours, coaching, online or other, then add the year)
3. Upload the exported chat file (with or without media) and pick the date range.
4. Untick any members or topics to leave out, and confirm the gang is okay with the chat being printed.
5. Who's who? Give each member a title. (tap: always late, the planner, the foodie, the drama, the therapist, the one with the car)
6. Tell us the one memory you'll never stop bringing up.
7. Your inside joke or code word? (optional: we won't explain it in the book, we'll just use it)
8. Tone and caption language? (tap: emotional, funny roast or a mix; English, Hinglish or Hindi)
