## ❓ Frequently Asked Questions
**Does this software store my login credentials?**
No. TelAnalysis only reads the files you export manually. It never asks for your Telegram password or login token.
**Can I analyze large chat histories?**
Yes. The software handles large exports, though processing time increases with the number of messages.
**Is it free?**
Yes. The tool is open source and free for all users.
**What formats does it support?**
The software specifically expects the JSON structure generated by the Telegram Desktop export tool.
## 📝 Troubleshooting
If the software fails to load your data, verify that you chose the JSON format during your Telegram export. Plain text files do not work. Ensure the directory path does not contain special characters that might cause read errors. Restart the software if the interface stops responding during a large analysis task.
