Importing msgstore.db / Multiple WhatsApp Backup Databases #498

Description

Hi!
I’d like to request a feature that allows importing WhatsApp msgstore.db(already decrypted) database files directly into the app. And also allow to export it for making local backups.

Requested capabilities

  1. Import a single msgstore.db file (encrypted or decrypted). [last link shows how local whatsapp copies with encrypted db files are imported, and thats the only solution now, but if you say took a local copy from Android/media twice and both contain different sets you cannot really merge them]

  2. Import multiple backups (e.g., msgstore.db.crypt14, msgstore-2024-12-01.db.crypt14, etc.).

  3. Automatically merge chats, messages, media references, and metadata without duplicates.

  4. Export msgstore.db to have an offline backup.

This feature greatly improves usability for anyone migrating phones, or wanting an accurate, combined timeline of their WhatsApp history.
