whatsapp_data_list_messages: {e}

Error message

whatsapp_data_list_messages: {e}

What it means

The native LIST_MESSAGES bus request to the WhatsApp data handler failed with a real handler-side error (not handler-absent, which degrades to an empty list). Means the desktop handler is registered but scanning or reading messages for the chat failed.
