Country-code export

Export WhatsApp contacts by country code to Excel.

Use WA - Download Group Phone Numbers when a WhatsApp Web group includes contacts from multiple countries and your team needs a spreadsheet that is easier to sort, segment, and assign.

Choose the source before filtering

Use a country-code export to organize available phone numbers for review, without copying them from chats one by one. Choose between two workflows: filter the contacts available in WhatsApp Web by calling-code prefix, or export selected groups and filter their rows in a spreadsheet.

Export contacts from specific countries

  1. Open WhatsApp Web in desktop Chrome and launch WA - Download Group Phone Numbers from the Chrome toolbar.
  2. Under Choose this first, select From specific countries. Choose the country options you need in the next selector.
  3. Select the available name and review fields, then download an Excel (.xlsx) workbook. Country code and phone number are included.
  4. Review the resulting files and full numbers before using them. Selecting multiple country options can produce separate exports.

This mode matches phone-number prefixes in WhatsApp Web's available contact collection. It is not a country filter restricted to a previously selected group, and it does not search for people outside your account's accessible data.

Filter one group's exported members instead

  1. Select From groups and choose the groups you are authorized to review.
  2. Export the available member details, retaining source context where available.
  3. Open the file and filter the Country Code column. Preserve phone numbers as text, including the leading plus sign.
  4. Compare full numbers with your existing list, review duplicates and retain an untouched copy of the export.

See the group export workflow and field guide for selection options and unavailable values.

Save a CSV copy if required

The extension downloads an Excel workbook, not a direct CSV file. Review the selected worksheet in Excel and use Save As to create a CSV UTF-8 copy for a system that requires CSV. Preserve the original workbook and test a small batch before importing the full list.

A calling code is not a verified location

Do not infer someone's current residence, language, timezone or permission to contact them from a number alone. Some calling codes are shared: NANPA explains that +1 serves the United States, Canada and other participating countries and territories. A prefix alone cannot distinguish those locations.

Country selections are prefix matches, not address verification. Confirm customer-provided region and communication preferences before routing an inquiry or scheduling follow-up. Missing or unusable phone details may not appear in an export; the extension does not reveal hidden numbers.

Use the reviewed file

For an international event, reconcile the exported numbers with registrations before assigning an owner. For customer operations, check the existing account record rather than assuming an unfamiliar calling code means a new customer. Follow the CRM import workflow when preparing records for import, and confirm consent or authorization before outreach.
