Hi guys
I have repaired an old phone and would like to extract my old whatsapp chat history and merge this with my current chats.
Is it as simple as reactivating WhatsApp on my old phone and doing a backup.
...then reactivating WhatsApp on my new phone and doing a restore?
Would this work?
Would it overwrite my current whatsapp data?
Thanks in advance

Would you be interested in knowing how to merge an old sms database with a new one?
What happened to me is that I was running 2.1 and wanted to upgrade to FreeX10 beta4 (2.2).
So, I backed everything up with xRecovery and Titanium, then upgraded.
However, before I could restore the texts with Titanium, I received a lot of texts.
Then when I tried restoring the old texts, I lost my most recent texts.
Which led me to figure out if it was possible to merge old texts with new ones.
I've now figured out how to merge the old texts with the new and have them properly dated and in order.
The only thing I'm missing is the attachments. Which is looking impossible right now.
Use SMS restore and backup it will merge the two automatically without losing any messages. What i mean by merging is first restoring the new backup using titanium and then making a backup using SMS restore and backup in Archive mode, do the same for the old backup too. And you will have a single file containing all the backup
i have personally tried it.

I'm not quite sure what your problem is. Did you change the device or reinstall whatsapp and want to restore a backup?
In general it should work following these steps:
http://www.teamandroid.com/2011/08/21/how-to-backup-chat-messages-in-whatsapp/
Follow the steps below to backup your Whats chat conversations:
- Open WhatsApp.
- Press the Menu key, and go to ‘Settings’.
- Scroll down and go to ‘More’;.
- Now tap once on “Chat History Backup” and backup will start.
That’s it! Next time when you re-install WhatsApp after a full reset, you will be asked to restore your previous backup (which is stored on your SD card).

If not, we need some more information...
However I guess it's not that useful too have all those older messages in whatsapp, because they are just filling the internal space and you can't easily access them (you would have to press "load older messages" again and again and whatsapp will become slower and slower ...).
A good possibility is to transfer the full whatsapp backup to your PC and use a tool called "Whatsapp Extractor" to display all the conversations.

is there a way to restore iphone whatsapp backup/history to android htc one X?
Re: Whatsapp reader or restore old messages
WhatsApp automatically makes backups every 24 hours and stores them on the microSD memory card of your Android phone. To restore the deleted messages of WhatsApp, you will need to uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp. During the installation process, you will be prompted to restore the lost message history of WhatsApp. Choose restore your missing chats.
Today I woke up in the morning and saw that all my whatsapp messages were deleted, I did not perform any back or restore from any backup utility such as Titanium backup. I am on Android 4.3 on Samsung note 2.
I tried to uninstall whatsapp and re-install again, it asked for restoring messages from backup folder but only restored messages till date 30-Dec-2013, although message backup was present with latest backup of yesterday’s date i.e. 23-Feb-2014.
Please let me know how can I restore all the messages and resolve this issue.

Have you tried whatsapp migrator tool?
:good:
Try this way
Have you tried to restore by WhatsApp. If you have done a backup, messages, chats can be easily restored. If not, try Android Data Recovery on RecoveryAndroid. I used it to get my lost Whatsapp messages back days ago.:highfive:
Hello, I had a problem with WhatsApp chats.
Yesterday WhatsApp refused to open because of problems with chats. I tried to recover chats using my .crypt12 database an it didn't work, it got stuck at 39%, the app did not crash but it din't go further.
So I decrypted msgstore.db.crypt12 using WhatCrypt and i opened the decrypted msgstore.db database to check if it was corrupted. It wasn't. I guess WhatsApp is unable to decrypt .crypt12 database file for unknown reasons. Now I don't know what to do to restore my chats.
Can I restore WhatsApp chats using the DECRYPTED database (my S6 Edge is rooted)? If not, is there something I can do?
Thanks
Does anyone know if it is possible to restore WhatsApp chats using decrypted database?
Hi,
Were you able to solve this? I'm having the same problem.
Hey, Would you mind telling me what did you do before it happened?
I don't suppose that Whatsapp backup was turned on before all these happened?
This dr.fone can help to recover lost or deleted WhatsApp chats from Android smartphone easily, also contacts, messages, photos, music and more.

Hello,
i have a problem that i can`t activate whatsapp, because i can`t receive sms or calls - i am abroad without roaming.
I have a new phone and also dbcrypt files from yesterday.
As my phone crashed i reinstalled everything , including whatsapp via titanium backup.
The problem is, that the date of the titanium backup file is from 20.dec.2018 where i first time switched from the old to the new phone.
I want that Whatsapp uses my latest backed up messages / videos (from yesterday), which i have locally on my sdcard and online in google drive.
But Whatsapp is not asking me to import them ( is i can only use the titanium backup method to have whatsapp active in the new phone).
Any recommendations how to force whatsapp to use the latest files?
