By now everyone is familiar with Spotify Wrapped. What if we wanted to do the same with WhatsApp? We will then need the help of a third-party application or, in this case, a web application: WhatsApp wrapped.
WhatsApp Wrapped is a small project that analyze a WhatsApp chat and generate a small report, with the advantage that the analysis is done locally, in the browser: your chats are not uploaded anywhere.
Your WhatsApp summary
Previously, WhatsApp included a section with some stats on how many messages we sent and received, but that changed when the new storage section was introduced. Now you have a new way to learn more about your discussions: analyze the chat with WhatsApp Wrapped.
The idea isn’t entirely new, since analyzing a chat history to generate a report was something we already had in the Windows Live Messenger era, although it’s not very popular on WhatsApp. And even less to do it from a web. The process begins with export a conversation as a TXT file, then later we will have to “upload” it to the web.
The next step is to open the WhatsApp Wrapped web and tap Browser files, to “download” the file. We put it in quotes because the file isn’t really uploaded anywhere, but is processed in the browser. In other words, it can work without an internet connection.
This tool is Open source (you can check its code on GitHub), which is appreciated. If all went well, because for now it looks a little green, you will have a little report below. If you are processing a very large chat file, it may take a long time.
In the report, you will see the total number of messages, the percentage of them that are yours and the other person’s, the most active time, a word cloud, the most used emojis and how many consecutive days you have chatted so far.
As we mentioned before, this is not a completely new idea because there are already analyzers and chat processors for WhatsApp, but the novelty is that this time it is much simpler and with a good result … when it works.
The project barely a few days and as commented on ProductHunt sometimes it doesn’t generate the report. Hopefully, being open source, they’ll be able to locate and fix any errors that seem to make it more stable and, if possible, include even more interesting data in the future.
