### Language based date time format in Whatsapp exports

Whatsapp exports have language based time format in export file and for Android without seconds. In my case 01/12/2023, 23:59
The new WhatsApp Mac App has a more usable format [01.12.23, 23:59:42] for the same message as Android, but in my case only loads the last 3 years of chat history.

Please open an issue with a small anonymized sample export and your device language. Or better open a PR with a fix. :)
