Frequently asked questions
What is the WhatsApp message character limit?
A regular text message holds thousands of characters, but WhatsApp Business API templates have a 1024-character body limit. The tool warns you when you exceed it.
Does it count emoji and Arabic correctly?
Yes, it counts by code points so an emoji or an Arabic letter counts as one character, and it also shows the byte size to gauge encoding limits.
Why does message length matter?
Shorter messages get higher read and reply rates, and templates must stay within the limit to be approved by Meta. The counter helps you tune before sending.
