How to see how many messages are in a WhatsApp chat - in detail?
To determine the number of messages in a specific WhatsApp chat, users can employ several methods depending on their device and operating system. Below are detailed steps for both Android and iOS devices:
On Android Devices:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your Android device.
- Select Chat: Navigate to the chat whose message count you wish to determine.
- Access Chat Settings: Tap on the three dots (⋮) located at the top-right corner of the screen within the chat window. This will open a dropdown menu.
- View Chat Details: From the dropdown menu, select "More" and then choose "Chat details". Alternatively, you can directly tap on "Chat details" from the initial dropdown menu if it is available.

- Access Chat Settings: Tap on the contact name at the top of the screen within the chat window. This will open a detailed view of the chat.
- View Chat Details: Scroll down in this detailed view until you reach the "Storage and Data" section. Here, WhatsApp provides statistics about the media and messages exchanged in that chat.
- Message Count: Look for the total number of messages under the relevant categories such as "Media Messages" or "Text Messages". Note that iOS does not provide a direct count of all messages but rather categorizes them, so you might need to add up different types of messages for an accurate total.
Using WhatsApp Web:
- Open WhatsApp Web: Visit the WhatsApp Web website (web.whatsapp.com) and scan the QR code with your phone to log in.
- Select Chat: Navigate to the chat whose message count you wish to determine.
- Access Contact Info: Click on the contact name at the top of the chat window to open their profile information.

By following these steps, users can easily determine the number of messages in a specific WhatsApp chat, regardless of the device or platform they are using.
