@sachinsuyash commented on GitHub (Mar 11, 2014):
Yes, I have been experiencing the same problem too. The new update for WhatsApp seems to be the culprit.
@sachinsuyash commented on GitHub (Mar 12, 2014):
No, there aren't any that backup whatsapp messages the way this does. Anyway, I guess we could wait for Jan to come up with the fix. I am sure he will soon.
@Mskina commented on GitHub (Mar 13, 2014):
It's a WA thing. They changed the way the chats are saved
@sachinsuyash commented on GitHub (Mar 13, 2014):
So, I guess there might be a fix for this.
@r6d2 commented on GitHub (Mar 18, 2014):
Same thing happened to me after the latest WhatsApp update.
@psyleo commented on GitHub (Mar 21, 2014):
Like you all, the same thing happened to me. Some update is coming?
@jaganz commented on GitHub (Mar 22, 2014):
Pls fix it! Same problem :(
@sachinsuyash commented on GitHub (Mar 22, 2014):
Hey everyone here's an easy solution. There's an app which converts the new crypt5 database to the older readable database and even triggers backup via SMS Backup+. It works for me. So give it a try. goo.gl/91UadC
@sachinsuyash commented on GitHub (Mar 23, 2014):
The application rune each day at 05:00, an hour after whatsapp backs up automatically. So, its automatic. But you can convert anytime you want. I don't know about SMS Backup+ backing up automatically because I've always found it to unreliable in those matters.
@aashish108 commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2014):
I tried the database converting to the older format, does not work for me!
@jaganz commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2014):
Also doesn't work for me
@sachinsuyash commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2014):
Are you both on the beta version? Because if yes, then you need to revert back. Also, you first have to manually open the application, click change format, then wait for it to do so, then go back to SMS Backup+ and then click backup. I hope this helps.
@aashish108 commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2014):
Beta version? I just downloaded the latest versions of whatsapp and that db converter from Google Play store. What do you mean change formats? I see an option called 'convert crypt5 to crypt database', I select that after doing a whatsapp backup then go into sms backup+ and it doesn't do anything :)(
@jaganz commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2014):
Same as Sovereign108 ... I have installed the 1.5.5 version (latest on market) and the process is the same described by Sovereign108
@aashish108 commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2014):
I am desperate to back up WhatsApp to gmail! For now, I will just export to email.....
@sachinsuyash commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2014):
Did you check the "trigger backup through 3rd party apps" in the SMS Backup app?
@aashish108 commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2014):
Yes, doesn't do anything unfortunately.
@sachinsuyash commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2014):
Well that's unfortunate. I hope I could help you in anyway.

@MariendeClercq commented on GitHub (Mar 27, 2014):
Your solution worked fine for me, thanks!
@sharriej commented on GitHub (Mar 28, 2014):
I've installed the converter and it works manually. I thought this would automatically run at 5am. This does not happen for me. Any ideas why?
@sachinsuyash commented on GitHub (Mar 29, 2014):
Yes it does run automatically at 5am but its not exactly at that time. I
give it plus minus 10 minutes. Also, it'll not automatically trigger the
SMS Backup+ to backup the files. I guess you'll have to backup manually at
the end of each day.

@sharriej commented on GitHub (Mar 29, 2014):
It definitely does not run for me unless I run it manually. I did the install 4 days ago and that's the same converted file stored. Perhaps it is only automatic on some devices or android versions. Shame really.
@sachinsuyash commented on GitHub (Mar 29, 2014):
You know you could contact the application developer. He could help you
out, I suppose.

I actually did, but got no response. :-(
@jberkel commented on GitHub (Apr 5, 2014):
please try the new beta: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus#beta
however i'm not sure it's fixed there.
whatsapp has changed encryption once again so even the beta might not be able to back up messages.
@sabelosimelane commented on GitHub (Jun 4, 2014):
I'm on KitKat and my Whatsapp is not working also. I'm on beta but the issue is still pending. Any updates? eish....
@aashish108 commented on GitHub (Jun 11, 2014):
There is no other app that backups WhatsApp chat! I just email the whole
chat history to myself so at least gmail can search the chat attachment.

Please follow these steps in a Linux environment:
adb backup -f whatsapp.ab -noapk com.whatsapp
This will cause a prompt on your phone as shown below. Click on the “Back up my data” button without providing a password.
dd if=whatsapp.ab bs=1 skip=24 | python -c "import zlib,sys;sys.stdout.write(zlib.decompress(sys.stdin.read()))"
adb push apps/com.whatsapp/f/key /sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/.nomedia
Then install WhatsApp Tri-Crypt: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tricrypt
@MariendeClercq commented on GitHub (Jun 12, 2014):
I only had to root my S3 mini to make Whatsapp Crypt-DB Converter decrypt the crypt7 files from Whatsapp.
After that the combination of Whatsapp Crypt-DB Converter and SMS Backup+ worked fine again.
@AbinashBishoyi commented on GitHub (Jun 12, 2014):
What I have explained above will work without rooting your device... Has anyone tried yet???
@sabelosimelane commented on GitHub (Jun 13, 2014):
AbinashBishoyi, is this solution a once off or must you run that script everytime you want to backup Whatsapp?
@AbinashBishoyi commented on GitHub (Jun 13, 2014):
Just once, then Tri-Crypt will take care of it... Detailed post here https://plus.google.com/118243877268559758058/posts/QdPz13C525x
@sabelosimelane commented on GitHub (Jun 13, 2014):
Damn, it worked! There's also a script for Windows, and that's what I used. Thanks Abinash!
@sharriej commented on GitHub (Jun 14, 2014):
I would like to attempt this as well, so can we backup a bit, sui that I know what I should be doing?!
I've got an unrooted android phone and tricrypt installed. Latest Whatsapp update means it no longer backs up.
The command to type in, Linux or Windows, are these directly typed in to the phone? Also, is there an app I need to install to type this in?
I would really appreciate a more detailed explanation for me to follow! Thanks. :-)
@AbinashBishoyi commented on GitHub (Jun 14, 2014):
sharriej, unfortunately there is no way to do something on phone, I'm working on it. Till then please follow the steps at https://plus.google.com/118243877268559758058/posts/QdPz13C525x
sabelosimelane, I'm glad that it worked for you, at least few restless nights helped someone...
@sharriej commented on GitHub (Jul 4, 2014):
Thanks for getting back to me and apologies for the delay
@joelpurra commented on GitHub (Aug 18, 2014):
I can confirm that the code released by @AbinashBishoyi works well with TriCrypt on an unrooted phone. Added a fix for Mac OS X and a few improvements to the original repo, AbinashBishoyi/WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor.
@dersvey commented on GitHub (Aug 29, 2014):
I have encountered the same problem as you, but finally I successfully recover my whatsapp messages of my iPhone and backup them from then on.
You can know more about "whatsapp backup iPhone" issue here.
@basanto384 commented on GitHub (Sep 27, 2014):
I too have the same, sms and call logs backup....but whatsapp doesn't backup.
@ramisedhom commented on GitHub (Nov 6, 2014):
After install Tri-Crypt and decrypt the database, then click back in SMS Backup+. It works fine at last, thanks
@jberkel commented on GitHub (Jun 12, 2015):
no longer supported
@MariendeClercq commented on GitHub (Jun 14, 2015):
Alas, but it still is working fine though!

Groeten,

@MariendeClercq commented on GitHub (Jun 28, 2015):
Alas, the new version indeed stopped backing up whatsapp. Jan: Why did you stop this?
@basanto384 commented on GitHub (Jun 29, 2015):
Backing up whatsapp is one of the best feature and unique feature which I loved it and hence this was my favorite app too. Though official this was not working, using the TriCrypt I use to back it up, but now no chance :(. Can you please enable this atleast.....we will use Tri-Crypt and use it as it was earlier.
@jberkel commented on GitHub (Jun 29, 2015):
Sorry I removed this feature because it was too complicated to support for the majority of users who always complained that WhatsApp backup was not working as expected.
Of course there are workarounds, but they are too complicated to set up for a non-technical user, and they might also stop working any day.
You can always manually install an older version which has WhatsApp support: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/releases/tag/1.5.9-BETA5
From my perspective the best solution would be if somebody who is willing to support this feature would fork the app, remove the SMS/Call log related code and release a stand-alone WhatsApp backup tool.
@MariendeClercq commented on GitHub (Jun 29, 2015):
Thanks for your reply, Good idea to keep using the older version of SMS Backup+
