You can still pull the database from an iOS backup on your Mac or created from `idevicebackup2`. The file is named `1b6b187a1b60b9ae8b720c79e2c67f472bab09c0`, `275ee4a160b7a7d60825a46b0d3ff0dcdb2fbc9d`, or `7c7fba66680ef796b916b067077cc246adacf01d`. |

1. Make sure you've recently backed up your iPhone
2. Open up terminal and $ open ~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup
3. Pick the relevant Backup folder (look at the most recently updated column)
4. To find the files mentioned by umanghere, go to the folder with the relevant starting characters. Eg: 7c7xxx is in the '7c' folder.
5. Find the file and open using any SQLite browser. For OSX, this is a decent and simple option: https://sqlitebrowser.org/
From there, once you figure out the tables, you can ostensibly write a script to also migrate your chats from Whatsapp to Signal.
For media transfer, this may also be helpful (though I haven't tried it myself): https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/365950/accessing-w...
I may write a script for this if I get a weekend free soon, but happy if anyone else does it as well.
