> It doesn't decrypt other people's media files, as the title could suggest.

It can be used to decrypt other's files as long as there is physical access to the device and the user's passcode. This was published as a result of the Bezo's phone examination report, where the author stated it was impossible to decrypt the media file. A claim that was largely refuted by the digital forensics community.

If you have those, you anyways have access to the messages via WhatsApp, right? Can't you simply export any chat you are interested in then?
This does not completely contradict what you are saying but you can only export limited number of messages (10k or 40k can't remember the amount correctly).
