Linux Android Backup, an open-source & cross-platform tool to back up Android devices
5 projects | /r/DataHoarder | 8 Jan 2022

The next best thing was https://github.com/MarcoG3/WhatsDump that would use an emulator to talk to Whatsapp servers and get the key, but that isn't working too since recently (BTW pinging /u/Drooliog/ if you still think the key is coming from your SIM and you have some totally local backup).

App to read whatsapp database?
1 project | /r/androidapps | 11 Feb 2023

Already tied whatsapp viewer (https://github.com/andreas-mausch/whatsapp-viewer) but it shows db file version too old to be read.
How can I see all my messages on my PC going back years? Is there a specific database tool?
3 projects | /r/whatsapp | 2 Feb 2023

This method is a bit dangerous, since it uses ADB and may brick your phone and also corrupt your history. I made sure I had all my chats backed up before try it for the first time. It worked, then I used again yesterday and it worked again. Cant be sure that it will work on your device, but if you want to give it a try, here is what I did Backuping whatsapp chat history without root: I used these tools back in september 2022 and worked just fine. To extract the key and uncrypted messages database: https://github.com/YuvrajRaghuvanshiS/WhatsApp-Key-Database-Extractor To decrypt the backup databases using the key you extracted and also to visualize the databases: https://github.com/andreas-mausch/whatsapp-viewer/releases To fix the SQL tables in order to visualize in the WhatsApp-Viewer: https://github.com/andreas-mausch/whatsapp-viewer/issues/151#issuecomment-1229244368

Backup of Whatsapp NOT THE "BACK UP TO GOOGLE DRIVE AUTO UPLOAD"
4 projects | /r/DataHoarder | 21 Aug 2022

The result is a sqlite database that can be dumped or browsed with the regular (database) tools; there are 2 projects I know of that are actually reading the data and presenting it nicely but both are broken just now as Whatsapp changed the name of some tables (the changes are only cosmetic, the data is still there): https://github.com/B16f00t/whapa and https://github.com/andreas-mausch/whatsapp-viewer .

(11) [Optionally:] If you want to send a message to a group instead of a single contact, you will need the precise jid number of this group. You can get it with the help of Whatsapp Viewer program.
How do I backup whatsapp photos from a single conversation?
1 project | /r/DataHoarder | 11 Jul 2022

The only way to cope with this is really ever-increasing storage on the phone (mind the sub please!) but otherwise export the conversation (I'm talking from some program that can read the db, again, major nuisance as the chats are encrypted and you don't have the key!!!) and possibly parse that to identify all the linked media from there.
