WhatsApp Message Analyzer

What is it?

It's a script that analyzes all the messages in a given WhatsApp group chat and visualizes the most active users, the most used words and the dates and times with the most activity.

Setup & Usage:

1. Download and install Python3.

2. Clone or download this repository and enter the root directory.

3. Run pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Get a chat by going into a group -> Settings -> Email Chat -> No Media.

5. Place the downloaded .txt file containing the chats in the same folder as this script.

6. Run the script in the commandline with the following format: analyze.py chat.txt where chat.txt is the file containing the chats

7. The below images will be generated in an output folder along with an excel sheet containing the formatted data:

groupname-data.xlsx
groupname-date_activity.png
groupname-person_activity.png
groupname-time_activity.png
groupname-word_frequency.png

Known Bugs & Issues:

Only messages of the following types have been tested:

• 18/05/16, 7:06:22 PM: ‪username/phone number: message

• 4/24/17, 6:30 PM - username/phone number: message

• [30/04/2015 20:55:13] username/phone number: message

• 3/25/19, 17:14 - username: message

Other message formats will most likely not work at all. If you find a different format, please open an issue and I'll add it in.
