I downloaded my WhatsApp chat history with my then long-distance fiancee (now my wife), and created a bunch of graphs and analysis. Everything from word clouds to regression to anomalies (eg when she visited or I visited, chat frequency dropped dramatically, etc).


Wow, did you get something insightful from that?

Also, would like to say how you made all that?


Pretty much a Python notebook. Well one thing I remember was usage of the word "love". After we said it in real-life, there was a huge spike in usage in the chat. But the interesting thing is that even before we said it directly (eg "I love you" ), there was a build up of indirect usage (like "I love spending time with you").


Would be great if you pubslish your notebooks :))


Same thing but I did with R I think iirc. I tried with my old crush. Sadly or gladly we did't end up dating for longer.


How did you download whatsapp chat history? I thought there was no way to do it. Please help me, I need a way too. Thanks!


I'm in Android and I see an "Export Chat" option under the menu of a chat with someone. I assume that's what I used but it was years ago.


Ohh.. I didn't know it could be done on a per-user basis.

Thanks a lot!
