Open the imported chat, start message selection, choose the messages, then tap Save Messages. You can create a new saved set or add the selection to an existing set from the same chat.

How to save important WhatsApp messages

Save and organize the messages

Select the messages that matter from an imported WhatsApp chat, organize them with Labels, and find them again without scrolling through the whole conversation.

  1. Select what matters

    Use Select Messages or long-press a message, then choose one or more messages in order.

  2. Name it if useful

    A title is optional. Add reusable Labels such as Family, Paid, Follow up, or Recommendations.

  3. Return through Saved

    Search, filter, edit, or reopen the set as a chat-style timeline with included media and visible gaps.

Saved sets depend on the imported chat

A saved set is an organized reference to messages in one imported source chat, not an independent backup. Deleting that imported chat also removes its saved sets.
