The key is needed to decrypt the messages in WhatsApp. Without the key, the software will display random characters that are not human readable.


Luckily, there is an application that still works even to this day. It's called WhatsApp Key/DB Extractor and it's available for download from the XDA Forums. Access the forums, download the app, install it and extract the key the add it to the WhatsApp Viewer and read the conversations.

I have tested the application and it works just fine. You just have to get the decryption key in order to use it. On the developer's page, there is a link to the XDA Forums where they teach you how to do this.


Secondly, download the latest version and follow the instructions on the page in order to decrypt the files: http://andreas-mausch.github.io/whatsapp-viewer/

Key extraction is a different story besides the viewing part in WhatsApp Viewer. There is an official guide posted on the XDA Forums regarding the key extraction procedure. Access the website and use the information on the page to safely extract the key from your phone. Follow the instructions properly or the process will fail.


Secondly, use the updated version of the software and attach the key file as well to decrypt the messages. You'll find it on the Software Informer application page.
