Facebook new version ios dont get any data of Facebook messenger

[vipinbeni]

New Text Document (5).txt face book messenger data is not coming and also chrome browser data is also not coming in latest version

[stark4n6]

@vipinbeni what type of input did you use? what tool was used for acquisition?

[vipinbeni]

i use itunes backup folder as input

[stark4n6]

@vipinbeni can you verify that there is actually Facebook messenger files in that extraction? If you can't find the files in the backup format structure you may use something like UFADE to reorganize the folders https://github.com/prosch88/UFADE

@vipinbeni can you use Unbackup (PRFS) on the UFADE backup? I'm just assuming we aren't seeing the path properly unless something drastically changed in a new Facebook version

Here are all the supported artifacts and paths for Facebook in iLEAPP. You can look them up at leapps.org/artifacts
As seen here the listing you provided does not include any of the files the tooling is looking for.
Also the file sizes in the provided listing are in bytes. Usually this means such files will not have much significant data since they are so small.

The ultimate solution is for you @vipinbeni to check your extraction for items of value in the apps you are interested in.
It might well be that a logical extraction does not pull out the data you are looking for from the device.

As of now there is no issue with the tooling that I can see.
Will close the issue soon if no additional factors are presented that justify looking into this request further.

Thanks!
