How to Export Large WhatsApp Chat Over 40000 Messages?

  • Single chats only: Cannot export multiple conversations simultaneously

Final Words

That’s all about how to export large WhatsApp chat on iPhone and Android. In most cases, you can use the built-in export feature of WhatsApp to export your messages. However, it can only help you export one chat at a time and it can only help you export no more than 40,000 messages.

If you want to export messages more than 40,000 or want to export all chats at once, then you can use a third-party tool to achieve the goal.
