How to open CURRENT file?
An often recurring problem with WhatsApp Messenger Encrypted Message Database is that CURRENT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file CURRENT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CURRENT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install WhatsApp for iPhone
The first step is to check if the computer has the WhatsApp for iPhone program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WhatsApp for iPhone in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CURRENT files.
Programs to open CURRENT file
Remember to download programs supporting CURRENT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WhatsApp for iPhone with CURRENT files
If, despite the installed application, the CURRENT file does not start in the WhatsApp for iPhone application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CURRENT file with the WhatsApp for iPhone program.
Step 3. Update WhatsApp for iPhone to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WhatsApp for iPhone program, it is possible that WhatsApp Messenger Encrypted Message Database requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the WhatsApp Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CURRENT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The CURRENT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CURRENT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CURRENT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CURRENT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CURRENT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CURRENT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting WhatsApp Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CURRENT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move CURRENT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
