WeChatMomentExport iOS

Completely reconstructed iOS WeChat Moments export

WeChatMomentExport-iOS is a friend circle export tool written in C#

Important: The Moments database is only available for iOS and is compatible with iOS WeChat 7.0.12

Important: Since WeChat 6.3.27 has encrypted pictures in other people’s Moments (wxpc format), exporting other people’s Moments is not supported for the time being.

Instructions for use

Export WeChat database from mobile phone

Note: Before use, open WeChat and clear the cache (this step is not necessary, but it can reduce the waiting time required for backup and copy), then directly open your circle of friends, scroll down to the earliest one, and put all your Moments are cached locally. If you are worried, you can disconnect from the Internet after turning the page to confirm whether you can still see it. Being able to see it means that it has been cached successfully.

Since iOS 8.3, Apple has turned off sandbox access, so WeChat’s Document folder cannot be directly accessed. But you can save the country by using iTunes or iMazing (recommended) to back up your mobile phone data, and then extract the WeChat Document content from the backup data.

In the WeChat Document, there is at least one folder named with a Hash string (if you have logged in to multiple WeChat on this phone, there may be more than one). Like this↓

eb8a6093b56e2f1c27fbf471ee97c7f9

Such a folder stores the personal data of WeChat users.

Copy wc005_008.db under the wc folder to the Debug folder of this project (if it cannot be found, generate the project).

Export friend circle data

Modify the initialization part in the Main function

 MomentExporterFacade exporterFacade = new MomentExporterFacade ( "这里改成自己的Hash字符串" , true ) ;

F5 runs.

After running, the following files (folders) will be output:

File(folder)	illustrate
Plist	Store all the Moments you have published (original files exported from wc005_008.db)
Json	Store all parsed friend circle JSON files
ViewLocalFile	Store files (pictures, videos, etc.) downloaded to local Moments
Viewstaticscriptdata.js	Moments data for display

Export completed

After the export is completed, open DebugViewIndex.html to see your Moments timeline.

Since my front-end technology is very passable, I did not create a particularly gorgeous display effect. Friends who are interested can pull request.

Known issues

1. Except for Weishi sharing, other shared content is not compatible and the shared content cannot be exported correctly.
2. Some comments do not have the commentator's nickname, but this is not a problem of analysis, but that it is not found in the plist. At this time, the commenter id is used instead.
3. Some comments do not have the reviewer's nickname and reviewer ID. Similarly, they are indeed not found in the plist. At this time, this comment is discarded because it is impossible to determine which one is the comment itself.
4. Some Moments clearly posted a picture, but the type in the plist was a short video, so the parsed content would be wrong.
5. You cannot export other people's Moments, only your own.
