Export WhatsApp Chats

This is a set of scripts to export WhatsApp chats and messages. I used this when I moved away from WhatsApp (as of 2019). This information and parts of the scripts might be outdated. Feel free to comment and send me pull requests.

Install the dependend packages:

python install-externals.py

Get the information from your (Android) smartphone:

./pull_files.sh

Extract the information:

./decrypt_and_export.sh

Requirements

The scripts will run in Linux, but might work on Mac OS/X or Windows Shell (not cmd.exe) as well.

Needed software:

• Java
• Python 2 (for Whapa)
• Python 3
• ADB
• GIT
