Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/absadiki/whatsapp-msgstore-viewer/issues/16

ChatStorage.sqlite is basically msgstore.db but for iPhone

ChatStorage.sqlite seems to have less tables

There are some old scripts which try to convert/combine ChatStorage.sqlite to msgstore.db or the opposite, perhaps they can help:

  • really like you project, WhatsApp viewers are a mess and a lot are oudated, I wanted to create a similar project to you where WhatsApp messages can be read easily and the media are accessibly by a click, though you seem to have made a better job than what I can imagine doing

@absadiki commented on GitHub (May 31, 2025):

Thanks, @RDGR8! I'm glad you found the project useful. It's a great idea to add support for the iPhone version; I wasn't aware that they were different. :)

As I mentioned in #15, if it's an sqlite database and you can open it in a SQLite viewer, as shown in the image, you can quickly add support for it without needing to convert it to the Android format.

I don't have access to the ChatStorage.sqlite file to test with, but please give it a try and let me know if you encounter any issues.
You can submit a PR, and I will happily merge it into the project.
