wa.db not exported; wa_contacts empty #102

Hi, i was able to decrypt my msgstore.db.crypt14 file but i only got the msgstore.db. I expected to get the wa.db also. I got the wa.db via a different software but from there, the wa_contacts table in wa.db is empty, so i can't match the contact names.

Is this an known issue?

whapa gets the names from the wa.db database, if the database does not exist or is empty, no names will be displayed. To get these files in many cases you must be root, or extract by other methods. Google Drive does not store such a database.
