Whatsapp Export More Than 40,000 Messages: Chat History Limit

Yes, there is also a limitation while sending chats via E-mail from WhatsApp. But that depends on one factor that is whether you select to include the media or not. To make it clear:

  • With Media – If you include the media, then it will allow you to send only the previous 10,000 messages from the conversations. And in case the number of media files are more than the number of messages can be much lesser than that. The chats and media will then be downloaded in a zip file.
  • Without Media – Without the media, you can send up to 40,000 messages from the desired conversation.

You can bypass the limit by using a third-party app such as iTransor or MobileTrans. One of these apps allows you to backup your WhatsApp chat and conversations to the computer.
