Tip 2WhatsApp Chats in Email attachment can only be viewed

There is a setting in WhatsApp that you can email chat history to someone else. Once you tapped the option, then a whole backup of WhatsApp chats will be generated on the phone. After that, you can send this backup file directly vie Email. However, this backup file can be only viewed on other devices with WhatsApp installed. It can't be imported to WhatsApp. So this method is not valid at all.
