How to export messages from Whatsapp?

I don't know why whatsapp have not given easy html export features, therefore we have to think outside the box for such solutions. There are different ways to approach it. I used a few of such methods to export it which I will explain below:

How to export messages from WHATSAPP Messenger?

Whatsapp Messenger is a phone-specific app with database file stored locally in root directory, therefore export / database extraction methods are done mostly over phone and there are plenty of softwares you can use. I'll share some of those methods:

-:Export Using Whatsapp App (Official):-

Open Chat in Whatsapp
Tap on Top right corner -> More -> Email Chat -> Attach Media
Select your Email App
Press Send.

-:EXPORT using 3rd Party Apps (Much more presentable in PDF/HTML formats):-

(For this method, your phone must be Android and Rooted to extract whatsapp database decryption key)

Open any root explorer and go to /data/data/com.whatsapp/ directory
Copy "msgstore.db" and "wa.db" from [database] directory to anywhere in your memory card

msgstore.db = messages database

wa.db = contacts database

Copy "key" from [files] directory to anywhere in your memory card. You will need this crypt12 key to decrypt your whatsapp db database file.
Use WhatCrypt.com to Decrypt your entire Whatsapp database file and later Export Whatsapp Database in HTML style. (you need to upload your "key" file first)

OR

You can also use Whatsapp Viewer for PC (https://andreas-mausch.de/whatsapp-viewer/) to decrypt whatsapp database file and select specific contact's chat history and print in Presentable HTML format with media attachments displayed as thumbnails too.
