Restore Parallel chats on Whatsapp without backup

[Dummer]

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).
