iPhone is the only apple device I own but it crashes it can't go too far back into my messaging history for any one individual too far.

Usually once I scroll to ~5 months back with people I text regularly the iMessage app just straight crashes ... it's a little absurd. To top it off, every couple pages it gives a loading icon and introduces severe latency for whatever reason. There don't seem to be any apps in their App Store that let you search and lookup old messages either.

This is actively biting me right now. Are there any solutions for accessing the iMessage/chat.db database on my phone or via iCloud from a Linux system (Ubuntu in my case)?

I’d also be interested in something that works with Ubuntu. I’d love it if you could give me a shout should you find something.
