Hi,
There is an app, "whatsapp to text" which stores whatsapp messages to sdcard. As far as I understood, whatsapp writes a back up database once per day to sdcard, from where the app extracts the data. Would be a perfect feature addition for smsbackup+, as more and more people replace and by whatsapp.

Cheers
Florian

agreed, only worried that whatsapp might change this behaviour (seems weird to have your texts public readable) and then the whole work would be useless.

Seems you are right. The files are encrypted. But very weak. Analysis can be found here:

i started working on this - would you expect the messages to go in to the same folder (aka "SMS") or would you prefer a separate folder for whatsapp messages?

@Luftol yes that would be great. try installing via the new beta feature:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.zegoggles.smssync

let me know if this doesn't work.

you should also join the beta testing community: https://plus.google.com/communities/110346109094668645413
not sure if the first link already adds you to that.

I joined the community (or asked to join). But the play link gives a 404.
