How serious of a legal issue is this? Can't law enforcement subpoena Apple and Facebook? They have all the data you're looking for in an easily exportable manner. On Android, WhatsApp backs up to Google Drive. Related: we would also like to extract photos, but I guess that's easy enough with the default software on Mac. If that's the best route, I'd rather find someone with a license and pay them to extract the data (hopefully it's cheaper than paying for the software license)īonus: is there any software that might also recover deleted messages? (I'm dubious of that) There's also some forensic-style stuff, like Elcomsoft, but that's pricey. The software should preferably run on Mac OS, but I see there's many more alternatives for Windows, so I'll get a Windows machine set up if need be.ĪnyTrans, CopyTrans, and iMazing seem popular, but there's so many apps in the sub-$100 price range that I'm a little skeptical as to which are actually legit or not. Is there any software you would recommend for dumping all such data into a CSV so it is easy to review in Excel or some database? It will be used to create a chronology of events.


We need to scroll back through hundreds of messages, and then getting time stamps on each message will be painful too (tap the message and take another screenshot). The problem is that taking a bunch of screenshots of all conversations will be extremely time consuming. The required data is iMessages, SMS, MMS, and Whatsapp conversations. They are personal iPhones that we need to extract data from to provide to law enforcement in Australia, Canada, USA, and possibly the UK.

They have two iPhones (11 Pro and X Original) that are fully functioning. A friend of mine has a difficult situation and I'm trying to help.
