    @Eman-Abbasi said in where is whatsapp data stored in mac: WhatsApp data on a Mac is primarily stored within the user’s Library folder, specifically in container folders for the desktop application The main chat databases and media are generally located at ~/Library/Containers/com.whatsapp/Data/Library/Application Support/WhatsApp/. These files are usually hidden by default, often requiring the use of the “Go to Folder” command in Finder. Key Locations for WhatsApp on Mac: App Data & Chats: ~/Library/Containers/com.whatsapp/Data/Library/Application Support/WhatsApp/ Other Data Paths: ~/Library/Application Support/WhatsApp/ ~/Library/Caches/com.whatsapp/ Media Files: If you have manually saved images or videos, they are typically in your “Downloads” folder, or a specifically chosen folder. Browser Web Data: If you use WhatsApp Web in Chrome, data is stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default. Important Notes: Hidden Files: To access these, open Finder, click “Go” in the top menu, select “Go to Folder,” and paste the paths above. Encrypted Data: Chat data (ChatStorage.sqlite) is encrypted and not directly readable without specific tools. Alternative Paths: Some versions or older installs might store data in ~/Library/Containers/desktop.WhatsApp. You can free up space by deleting the contents of the Application Support/WhatsApp folder, but this will remove the locally stored history from your Mac.
