Some reports currently rely mainly on display names from the export text.
Problem
In the current report, it can remain unclear:
- which participant is which real-world person
- which side belongs to the examined device owner
- what phone number or WhatsApp identifier belongs to a participant
This reduces the evidentiary value of the report, especially when display names are generic, duplicated, changed, or missing.
Suggested feature
Allow optional participant identification fields for WhatsApp exports, for example:
- own phone number / WhatsApp ID
- chat partner phone number / WhatsApp ID
- optional identifiers for both sides in direct chats
- optional participant identifiers for group chats where feasible
These values should then appear in the generated report and traceability output where appropriate.
