You can check which of your friends you send the most messages to, and track the exact number of texts you’ve sent.
WhatsApp has a hidden message counter built right into the app.
You can find the number of texts you’ve sent and received in a chat, and how many times you’ve shared locations.
It also shows how many photos, GIFs, videos, voice messages, documents and stickers have been sent – and the amount of storage space they’re taking up.
Finally, you can even see exactly how much storage space your chat with a person is clogging up overall. Maybe your pals are a bigger burden than you thought?
In any case, these figures can reveal who your true WhatsApp bestie really is.
But beware: you might find that you’ve sent tens of thousands of texts to someone, and realise you have a major WhatsApp addiction.
How to check WhatsApp message counter
First, open the WhatsApp app and click on the Settings tab.
Next, open the Data and Storage Usage panel, then click Storage Usage at the bottom.
Here you’ll be presented with a big list of your chats, ordered in terms of storage space taken up.
The people are the top of the list will be sucking up the most storage, and can take up significant amounts if you trade lots of pictures or videos.
To see how many texts you’ve sent with a person, click on any of the chats and you’ll get a breakdown of stats.
