What they are: Numerous commercial software tools (e.g., iMazing, dr.fone, AnyTrans, iBackup Viewer) claim to extract WhatsApp data from iPhone backups (iTunes/iCloud) or directly from the device.
How they work (Claimed): These tools typically:
Scan iTunes/iCloud Backups: They can parse and attempt to decrypt WhatsApp data found within unencrypted or partially decrypted iTunes/iCloud backups.
Direct Device Scanning (Requires Trust/Rooting/Jailbreaking): Some tools might claim direct device scanning. On an un-jailbroken device, this often involves exploiting temporary vulnerabilities (which are quickly patched by Apple) or leveraging Apple's own diagnostic protocols in a non-standard way. For comprehensive data extraction, they usually require the sweden whatsapp mobile phone number list device to be jailbroken or in a specific diagnostic mode that's hard to achieve for an average user.
Decryption (Proprietary/Limited): They use proprietary algorithms to decrypt the WhatsApp database files. Their success rates vary depending on the WhatsApp version, iOS version, and the specific encryption key used. Older WhatsApp encryption schemes are easier to handle.
Presentation: They then present the extracted messages, media, and contacts in a readable format.
