Q: Combine multiple chat.db iMessage files
Between failing hardware, software bugs and run of the mil upgrades I have gone through multiple devices. I have iPhone strings of messages that are more complete then my iMessage history on my mac's and I have now collected 4 different macs with 4 different chat.db files where message history is stored. Is there a way to sync or combine them all so I can have a seamless message history with attachments on my new mac with each of my contacts. If I have some pics of history like from Jan-2016 through June in one chat.db archived file and July through Aug in another but a iPhone that spans that time can I just use the oldest chat.db and then would the iPhone syncing across fill in the gaps so I am not missing any message history on my mac? If so, then I would only need to get the before Jan-2016 like my 2012-2016 chat.db off my old bricked mac to take care of the message history before 2016. Anyone one got some help or ideas with this?
