# Whatsapp-Chat-Exporter
A Whatsapp database parser that will give you the history of your Whatsapp conversations in HTML and JSON
**If you plan to uninstall WhatsApp or delete your WhatsApp account, please make a backup of your WhatsApp database. You may want to use this exporter again on the same database in the future as the exporter develops**
# Usage
First, clone this repo, and copy all py and html files to a working directory if you want to do so.
```shell
git clone https://github.com/KnugiHK/Whatsapp-Chat-Exporter.git
```
Then, ready your WhatsApp database, place them in the root of working directory.
* For Android, it is called msgstore.db. If you want name of your contacts, get the contact database, which is called wa.db.
* For iPhone, it is called 7c7fba66680ef796b916b067077cc246adacf01d (YES, a hash).
Next, ready your media folder, place it in the root of working directory.
* For Android, copy the WhatsApp directory from your phone directly.
* For iPhone, run the extract_iphone_media.py, and you will get a folder called Message.
```
python extract_iphone_media.py "C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\[device id]"
```
And now, you should have something like this:
