I need help in getting my backup decrypted. For WhatsApp, there's this really great website where you can insert a txt file and then it shows the entire chat in the WhatsApp design including emojis ( https://whatsapp-chat-parser.netlify.app/ ).
[Request] Would it be possible to record in a spreadsheet all the people I exchanged Whatsapp messages with that day and how many messages there were? Thank you!

I found WhatsApp Chat Parser that could help to do that (even though I would have to create separate automation for every conversation in the last 24 hours, just to count the messages in the conversation), I just think would be a bit too complex to achieve this, considering I would have to make a backup of WhatsApp every day, download it and parse the chats.

signalbackup-tools seems to be the best at getting the data out into something more usable, and seems to still be actively developed.
