The problem
Your chat is already your filing cabinet. But nobody organizes it.
When you need a document for an audit, a lawsuit, a payment dispute or closing the books, it doesn't turn up. Or worse: it's already gone.
Backups fail silently
When the phone fills up, the daily message backup stops saving without warning. You find out the day you reinstall the app and months of conversations are missing.
The good news: photos, videos and documents stay on the phone even if the messages are lost. That's where almost everything valuable is.

Lost your backup?
Couldn't restore your WhatsApp? Don't worry: there's an alternative.
When the backup fails or the restore doesn't finish, text messages can be lost. But on Android, photos, videos, documents and voice notes usually remain stored on the phone, and chats that still exist can be exported. Wualab rescues them, organizes them and gives them back ready to search.
- 1. We check your phone without touching anythingWe see which files are still there, how much space is left and how long it's gone without a backup. It's read-only: nothing is deleted or changed.
- 2. We rescue what's still storedWe copy photos, videos, documents and voice notes to a drive, verifying every file. If the cable gets disconnected, it resumes where it left off.
- 3. We rebuild your historyWe import the chats you can still export, transcribe the voice notes and find receipts and documents so you can search for anything.
What can be recovered, and what can't
- Photos, videos, documents and voice notes still on the phone
- Conversations that can still be exported, yours or the other person’s
- Payment receipts, contracts and notices found in everything rescued
- Text messages that were never backed up and are no longer on any phone
The sooner the better: with a full phone, WhatsApp keeps failing to back up anything new.

Real case
A phone at 99%, a year without a message backup
A rental business lost more than a year of messages because its backup had stopped working. In a single day we recovered its files and found a possible double payment, an active lawsuit and a pending legal demand buried among thousands of photos.

Privacy
Your documents never leave your computer
Your chats contain accounts, IDs, contracts and other people's data. That's why the whole process, including text recognition, runs on your computer and not in the cloud.
- Everything is processed on your computer. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
- Your originals stay untouched: we work on copies.
- We never delete or restore anything on your phone without your confirmation.
- When we finish we delete everything on our side and give you written proof.
- If we find exposed passwords or sensitive data, we let you know so you can change them.
Frequently asked questions
What does Wualab do?
Wualab copies WhatsApp photos, videos, audio, voice notes and documents from an Android phone to your computer or a USB drive over a cable. It verifies every file, organizes them by month and type, and lets you search them by name, amount, reference number or any word that appears in photos. It is most useful when you have no WhatsApp backup or need to find receipts, contracts or IDs someone sent you by chat.
What is free and what is paid?
Downloading the app, checking what is on the phone before copying and browsing what you already rescued is free. You pay when copying: one rescue per phone, or the Professional license if you serve several clients.
What do I need?
A Mac or Windows computer. The Android phone with WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business, and its PIN or pattern. A USB cable that carries data (ideally the phone's original one). Space for the rescued files: on the computer or on a USB drive formatted as exFAT. You don't need internet to rescue or to browse rescued files; only to create the account and activate the rescue.
Does it recover what I already deleted?
No. Wualab copies what is still in the phone's storage. That's why it's best to rescue as soon as possible and check for free what is there before paying.
Are text messages recovered?
On Android, Wualab copies the files (photos, videos, audio, voice notes and documents) and tells you when the phone's last message backup was. Chat text can be added by exporting each chat from WhatsApp and importing it into Wualab.
Does it work with iPhone?
For now, cable rescue is Android only. With an iPhone you can export each chat from WhatsApp (More → Export chat) and import it into Wualab to organize and search it.
Are my chats uploaded to the internet?
No. Everything is processed on your computer: copying, reading text in photos and transcribing voice notes. Your account only stores your purchases and licenses.
Can I rescue someone else's phone?
Only if it's yours or its owner expressly authorizes you. Using Wualab to read a phone without permission is prohibited and may be a crime.
Find any receipt in seconds, not days
We check your phone for free: how much space it has, whether your backup is working and what can be rescued.
