Count Messages and Photos in Your Chat

How many messages have you really exchanged with someone — or in that group? The answer almost always surprises.

With MonLivreSMS, import your chat (SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger…) and get an instant message + photo count — free, before you even think about a book.

Steps for each chat type. After import, open My conversations on MonLivreSMS to see total messages + photos.

Count messages in an iPhone SMS chat

On iPhone, Apple locks direct SMS access: you need a computer, an unencrypted iPhone backup and MonLivreSMS to extract the chat.

After import, open My conversations for the message and photo count. Delete the import or start a book — your choice.
