How to export and back up your Talkie AI chats on Android

Last updated September 14, 2026 · Android, iPhone, and web · By the developer of LonelyTavern

The short answer

What you can lose

The data request

Privacy law in many places gives you a right to a copy of your data. Talkie's policy accepts such requests at [email protected].

How to save a chat

  1. Screenshot the whole conversation, top to bottom, overlapping each shot so no message is cut.
  2. Transcribe the screenshots. An AI assistant that reads images can do a batch at a time; ask for a speaker label on every line.
  3. Clean the transcript. Remove duplicate lines and app chrome, and check the speakers.
  4. Store it outside Talkie. A text file in your own cloud storage or on your computer.

Copying text from the web app once worked. Since early 2025, selected messages come out in scrambled order. The diary, photo, and voice-memo extras have no download path; screenshot the ones you want.

How to save the character

A Talkie's profile is public text. Copy each field into a file. The fields map onto the standard character-card format, and LonelyTavern's editor has one for each.

Continuing elsewhere

Apps that import chats read the Tavern chat format: one message per line, with speaker and text. An AI model can convert a clean transcript in one request. LonelyTavern shows the exact format on its import screen.

Also leaving Chai, Character.AI, or JanitorAI? Each has its own guide.
