A comprehensive Python library for analyzing WhatsApp chat exports. This library provides tools for preprocessing WhatsApp chat data and performing various analyses including sentiment analysis, user activity patterns, conversation patterns, and more.
pip install whatsapp-reality
- Chat preprocessing for both Android and iOS WhatsApp exports
- Basic statistics (message counts, word counts, media counts)
- User activity analysis
- Word clouds and common words analysis
- Sentiment analysis
- Emoji analysis
- Timeline analysis (daily, monthly)
- Reply time analysis
- Conversation pattern analysis
- Open WhatsApp
- Go to the chat you want to analyze
- Click on the three dots (⋮) > More > Export chat
- Choose "Without Media"
- Save the exported text file
from whatsapp_reality import preprocess, analyzer

# Read and preprocess your chat file
with open('chat.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as file:

# Create the DataFrame
df = preprocess(chat_data)
# Assume 'selected_user' is defined, e.g., 'Overall' or a specific user name
selected_user = 'Overall' # Example: Replace with actual user or 'Overall'
# Now you can use any of the analysis functions!
# --- Basic Stats ---

# late_reply_fig.show() # Uncomment to display plot
print("\nAverage late reply times per user:")

# Example from original Quick Start (if different from above)
# analyze_reply_patterns might be deprecated or replaced by calculate_average_late_reply_time
# user, time, msg, reply = analyzer.analyze_reply_patterns(df)
# print(f"\nUser with longest reply time: {user}")
# print(f"Reply took {time:.2f} minutes")
The library supports WhatsApp chat exports from both Android and iOS devices in the following formats:
DD/MM/YY, HH:mm - Username: Message
[DD/MM/YY, HH:mm:ss] Username: Message
Both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats are supported.
