If an iOS client enables end-to-end encrypted backups, the chats are not stored in device backups anymore, but only in iCloud.

From a Mac it's very convenient to access the encrypted iCloud backup at

/Users/filippo/Library/Mobile Documents/57T9237FN3~net~whatsapp~WhatsApp/Accounts/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/backup/ChatStorage.sqlite.enc

I imagine this can be decrypted with the 64 character E2E key. It would be nice to add support to WhatsApp-Chat-Exporter.

You mean iCloud Advanced Data Protection or the WhatsApp built-in E2E encryption?

ADP is transparent from a macOS client. ChatStorage.sqlite.enc is encrypted by WhatsApp's built-in E2E encryption.
