During the Prophase stage of Meiosis, rather than Mitosis, chromosomes are split from 46 to 23. Meiosis is the same basic process as Mitosis, yet is what occurs in gametes rather than other non-gamete cells.

How many chromosomes in a spermatid?

A spermatid contains 23 chromosomes, which are the result of meiosis dividing the original diploid germ cell's 46 chromosomes in half. This reduction in chromosome number ensures that when the spermatid fuses with an egg during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have the correct number of chromosomes.
