Version 2.3.3

  • iPhone exports now include available sent, delivered, read, edit, Undo Send, and recently deleted events with recorded timestamps.
  • Exports show retained revision or recently deleted message content when present in the backup, and recently deleted messages can be included or excluded with a new export option.
  • PDFs can show each sender’s underlying phone number or email address, optionally show historical timezone offsets (hidden by default), and include clearer attachment details.
  • iPhone Excel transcripts now include Message Events and expanded Attachments sheets with local and UTC timestamps, message identifiers, file availability, byte sizes, SHA-256 hashes, and available EXIF/GPS metadata.
