whatsapp_list_chats

macOS

Purpose

Lists WhatsApp conversations with last message preview. Returns chat IDs, contact names, and recent message snippets. Some contacts may appear with @lid identifiers (e.g. 123456@lid) instead of phone numbers — this is a WhatsApp privacy feature for certain account types; use the Name field for display and the JID/chat_id for subsequent calls. ⚠️ Uses Wacli (unofficial WhatsApp client). Accounts may be restricted for ToS violations.
