Hi, I need to export large amounts of audio files (1400+) from a whatsapp chat at a single time, directly to pc or to a folder in my android device.

Any help?

I tried to export the chat but there is a big limitation when you try to export the chat including files (18mb).

I even tried to forward the audio files in short groupes (50 for example) to a chat created with my self and then tryed to export it, but still didn't work properly because the export via whatsapp always excludes some files.

Any external app or program that ca do this (preferably free)?

Media files ARE already in an accesibile folder in Android (Android/media/com.whatsapp or just WhatsApp/ on older devices). The text chat backups are encrypted (big shenanigans, cam look through my comments in the relevant post) but the media should be there without trouble.
