Hi all,

Here follows the issue:
- I had Whatsapp official and Parallel Space Whatsapp in the same phone, with different phone numbers. No. 1 official, no. 2 Parallel
- after a period without using Parallel, I could not log in anymore due to Wapp asking to use only the official app
- I did not activate backup on Parallel
- I then added the former Parallel Whatsapp account (associated with no. 2) with on official whatsapp app as a new account
- on this new account I don't see chats because as said backup was not activated
- I found Parallel chat folders sotred locally

Question:
Can I retrieve them to see them in that new official Wapp account? In case, how?
I thought of copying the folders with encrypted files in the official Whatsapp one but 1) not sure it works 2) I don't want to mess with chats from no. 1

Hope it's clear, thanks!

Unfortunately the way Whatsapp conversations are encrypted, unless they are properly imported through the 'official' methods, conversations cannot be retrieved/imported (aka just copying the files won't do it).

Not an admin here (and welcome to the Forums), but you can certainly chime in the topic here if you have any more insight, as long as no Forum rules are overstepped! (mostly stay away from potentially illegal or frowned-upon methods and you're good!).
