Where do Hike and WhatsApp store their messages? Does anyone here knows where Hike/WhatsApp store their messages? I know WhatsApp's Database can be found on the SD card, but it is created every day at 4 AM, and deleted if the file is more than 7 days old I want to know where they store their messages because they also read and displays messages at runtime.

So I want to know, where do these two programs store messages? I need to format my SD card so I want to make a backup for my messages.
For WhatsApp:

Backups can be found at:
/sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/
(Use this tool to decrypt it: WhatsApp Key/DB Extractor or WhatCrypt)

Live database can be found at (requires root):
/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db



For Hike:

Backup can be found at:
/sdcard/Hike/Backup/chats.backup

Live database can be found at (requires root):
/data/data/com.bsb.hike/databases/chats
