WhatsApp is a messaging app for smartphones founded in 2009 by two former Yahoo employees, Brian Acton and Jan Koum. 2 billion users in 180 countries make WhatsApp the most popular messaging app in the world. WhatsApp extended to focus on producing a clean and fast chat service that worked flawlessly. Any feature they added, including voice messaging that could be made with a simple one-click implementation, was a simple extension of the core function of a text-chat app.

India is the biggest WhatsApp market in the world, with 340 million users. Nearly 65 billion+ messages are being sent using WhatsApp every day and an average of 29 million messages are sent per minute.

WhatsApp provides an option to export the chat which we can use it for analysis purpose. It is recommended to export any group chat for analyzing since it tends to be larger.

You will find the “Export chat” option in your WhatsApp chat (group/individual). Find the_ vertical ellipsis symbol > More > Export chat_. Note:_ This feature isn’t supported in Germany._

The “Export Chat” option converts the WhatsApp group conversation into a text file(.txt). Once the conversion is complete, I shared it to my email ID for doing the analysis.
