How many photos and dishes can a WhatsApp catalog hold?
Updated 7 October 2026
In the Business app you can add up to 10 images for each item. WhatsApp's help pages do not state a maximum number of items, so do not rely on a number.
- Every item needs a unique title, at least one image and a country of origin.
- Items are visible to customers only after WhatsApp approves them.
- On the WhatsApp Business Platform (the API), one catalog is allowed per WhatsApp account hierarchy.
Keep a long menu complete
Menuthere holds unlimited menu items, photos, sizes and add-ons on its own ordering page, and can build the menu from a photo or PDF. A long menu never has to fit a WhatsApp catalog.
