What this page is for
Paginated inbound message history for WhatsApp Cloud API numbers: which number received the message, sender name and phone, message preview, and timestamp.
Use this page to review customer replies, spot patterns before tuning autoreply, or confirm that inbound Cloud API traffic reaches the right number.
For a threaded chat view (conversations with reply in one timeline), use Multics → Inbox.
Sample data shown.
Messages are kept 7 days on Free accounts and 30 days on paid accounts — see Plans & quota → Data retention.
