.CRYPT10 File

The crypt10 file extension appears to be used by some of the older versions of WhatsApp Messenger, an instant messaging service and client for various mobile platforms.

The .crypt10 file stores encrypted and protected database with chat history similar to SQLite database format.

By default, the file is called: msgstore.db.crypt10 and is stored on phone SDcard/WhatsApp/Databases folder.

This crypt10 file type entry was marked as obsolete and no longer supported file format.

This type of file is no longer actively used and is most likely obsolete. This is typically the case for system files in old operating systems, file types from long discontinued software, or previous versions of certain file types (like documents, projects etc.) that were replaced in higher versions of their original programs.

How to open:

You can restore *.crypt10 backups with the default function of the WhatsApp program. You may even transfer them to another device, provided it uses same telephone number.

How to convert:

With Omni-Crypt and similar tools users may export or convert their *.crypt10 files to original *.crypt or *.db format.
