A link a friend sends you on WhatsApp is buried within a day. Share it to Recall instead: text with a URL buried in it has the URL extracted and captured, with the surrounding words kept as your own text, so both the link and the context of who sent it and why survive.
The facts about WhatsApp forwards
- Recall's capture endpoint accepts a native-share-shaped payload where any one of url, text or title is enough.
- Text containing a URL is split: the URL is captured, the remaining words are kept as your text.
- Pure text with no link becomes a note, stored whole and searchable word by word.
Why Flocci Recall is a real replacement
- One share from the WhatsApp share menu, on Android directly and on iOS through the signed Shortcut.
- The message context is preserved, so 'the restaurant Priya sent me' is a real query.
- Hindi and Hinglish messages are handled: keywords are stored in the original script, its transliteration and English.
Questions people ask
Does Recall read my WhatsApp messages?
No. Recall only ever receives what you explicitly share to it through the operating system's share sheet. It has no access to your chats.
What about a message in Hinglish?
It works. The enrichment pass detects the language and emits keywords in the original script, a transliteration and English, so a message about 'chai' is findable whether you type chai or चाय.
