Every year, the music streaming service Spotify sends you a personal annual review called “Wrapped”. Here, Spotify shows, among other things, which songs and artists you have listened to the most. The OurChat Story service for WhatsApp promises something similar.
Among other things, you should find out how many WhatsApp messages you sent to certain contacts in 2023. When were your main chat times and how active you are on WhatsApp compared to others. However, this comparison is only based on the WhatsApp users who also used OurChat Story, not all WhatsApp users worldwide.
This is how you get your WhatsApp annual review
To receive your WhatsApp annual review, all you have to do is export the chat you want to evaluate and then upload it to the website. How you have to do this is explained in detail on the website. A cross-contact evaluation of all your WhatsApp chats from 2023 is not possible. Like Spotify Wrapped, the results are presented to you in a colorful story. But is the tool trustworthy?

OurChat Story is reminiscent of WhatsAnalyze; the service provides you with numerous statistics about your chat histories in a similar way. For example, you can find out who writes most often in a group. However, while the creators of the website are very transparent and explain who is behind the project, this remains nebulous with WhatsApp Wrapped. For example, an imprint is missing on the website.
It remains unclear who is behind it
A WhoIs query shows that the website was registered via a service provider in 2021, but does not provide any details about the owner. However, in the terms of use, the nameless operators assure that your chats will not be saved but will be deleted immediately after evaluation. In addition, the source code of OurChat Story is open source and on Github freely visible.
However, we would tend to advise against using the service because of the unclear authorship. If you do want to use it: OurChatStory is free, but you can support the development team with a donation.
