# Working with Android
## Unencrypted WhatsApp database
Extract the WhatsApp database with whatever means, one possible means is to use the [WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor](https://github.com/KnugiHK/WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor)
After you obtain your WhatsApp databse, copy the WhatsApp database and media folder to the working directory. The database is called msgstore.db. If you also want the name of your contacts, get the contact database, which is called wa.db. And copy the WhatsApp (Media) directory from your phone directly.
And now, you should have something like this in the working directory.
