🔥 The Basics
This application was created to view chats
from MSN Messenger XML backups. It reads
an XML backup file chosen by the user, and
displays it in an easy-to-read format on
the screen.
All processing happens locally on your
device. No data is uploaded or tracked.
- You must have the XML backup
available on your device to view
it.
- Long usernames are shortened.
Click or tap on such a username to
see a popup with the full
username. Click or tap again to
hide the popup.
- When you have opened a backup for
viewing, you can easily re-open it
later by selecting "Load Previous".
- Previously viewed backups can be
removed by clicking or tapping the
delete button on the right side of
the entry.
🔥 Mobile Interface
The application supports both desktop and
mobile devices. On a small screen, the
rendered conversation has certain
information hidden to make reading
messages easier.
- Tap on the clock to see the
date and time of the message.
- Tap again to hide the popup.
- Long chat messages are scrollable.
A small icon in the lower right
part of the message indicates
this.
