Make sure you are installing the iphone_backup_decrypt with the master branch. For details of your issue, see https://github.com/KnugiHK/WhatsApp-Chat-Exporter/issues/102.

If you are working on unencrypted iOS/iPadOS backup, skip this

I did not istall it because my iPhone backup is not encrypted.

Do I need to install it anyway?

[iconsofourtime]

I installed iphone_backup_decrypt using: pip install git+https://github.com/KnugiHK/iphone_backup_decrypt command and this is what's happening now: PS C:\wabckp> wtsexporter -i -b "C:\Users\User1\Apple\MobileSync\Backup\00008110-001E490C0AEA901E" Contact database not found. PS C:\wabckp> No errors, just that one line information about contact database and still no chat history export..

What should I do next?

Oh... Then it seems there could be issue in the code. I will take a look later.

If you are sure you have WhatsApp (not WhatsApp Business) installed and exported it in the backup, then, probably they changed the database name, which requires changes to the code.

[iconsofourtime]

OK, can I use different branch or wait?

[KnugiHK]

Probably you will have to wait until I (or someone else who are willing to contribute) figure out the new things.
