How the memory is shaped
Import your data
Pictures, Instagram or Facebook exports, WhatsApp chats and any app's CSV go straight onto your timeline, day by day. Nothing leaves this server. Re-importing adds only what is new.
How to get your data
Pictures: tap Choose above, pick Photo Library, select as many as you like. Dates and places come from the pictures themselves.
Instagram: Settings → Accounts Center → Your information and permissions → Download your information → Download or transfer information → pick Instagram → All available information → Download to device → format JSON, media quality High, date range All time. Meta emails a zip within a day or two; upload it here.
Facebook: same path in Accounts Center, pick Facebook, format JSON.
WhatsApp: open a chat → tap the name → Export Chat → Attach Media → save the zip to Files, then upload it. One chat at a time; do the ones that matter.
Other apps (food, sleep, loyalty cards, bank, Spotify…): most apps have Export data or Download my data in their settings or on their website, giving a CSV or JSON file. Upload it as is; the date column is found automatically and each day becomes a log entry.
iMessage, Safari history, call log: these only come from an iPhone backup made on the laptop. Ask Peter.
