WhatsApp character limits and image sizes
This page lists every WhatsApp text limit and upload size tracked by the tool, including the point where WhatsApp truncates a post in the feed. Counts follow how WhatsApp itself measures text, not raw string length.
WhatsApp character limits
| Field | Limit | Visible in feed |
|---|---|---|
| Status text | 700 | — |
| About | 139 | — |
“Visible in feed” is roughly where the platform collapses the rest behind a “more” link. It is the practical limit for anything you need read.
WhatsApp image and video sizes

|---|---|---|---|
| Status | 1,080 × 1,920 | 9:16 | Video |
