Why can't I view Whatsapp messages or images stored in the Whatsapp data base?

[Windows Central Question]

Why can't I view what's app messages or images stored in the what's app data base ?

I started to use my girlfriend's as card in my Samsung grand prime phone and there are what's app images and messages I can't view from the what's app data base in my phone's files. Does anyone know how to open these because when I try my phone says no apps are able to open them. Thank you everyone for your tips and advice

App data is secured to the phone it was created on. You can only use a card with the phone it comes from. Data is encrypted so you cannot see it.

Put it in her phone and you will, assuming no re-install.

Note: Photo data is not protected the same way... just app data like WhatApp data.
