How to Create Your WhatsApp Wrapped: A Complete Guide
Your top contacts, the emoji you can't stop using, your busiest days: WhatsApp Wrapped turns a year of chats into a personalized recap. Here's how to make your own, for free.
What Is WhatsApp Wrapped?
You know the Spotify Wrapped feeling, where December rolls around and suddenly you're staring at your own listening habits like they belong to a stranger. WhatsApp Wrapped does the same thing for your messages: who you actually talk to, which emoji you lean on way too hard, what hour of the day you can't put your phone down.
WhatsApp itself has never built this feature. ChatPeek did, and it runs entirely in your browser: free, no signup, nothing leaves your device.
What You'll Discover in Your Wrapped
- Total Messages
The full count, broken down by month, week, and day so you can see when you were chattiest.
- Top Contacts
Who you actually talked to the most, ranked by message count and total word count.
- Most-Used Emojis
Frequency counts for your top emojis. Find out if you're a 😂 person or a ❤️ person.
- Peak Activity Hours
Morning texter, afternoon lurker, or 2am reply-guy? Your activity graph will out you.
- Conversation Trends
How your messaging habits shifted over time, plus your most active week and your longest streak.
- Media Shared
Total images, videos, voice notes, and documents you sent back and forth.
Making Your WhatsApp Wrapped, Step by Step
Six steps, under 2 minutes total. Here's the whole process.
- 1Export your WhatsApp chat
Open WhatsApp, go to the chat you want to analyze, and export it. On Android: three-dot menu → More → Export Chat. On iPhone: tap the contact name → scroll down → Export Chat. Pick "Without Media" if you want it fast, or "Include Media" if you want media stats too.
- 2Open ChatPeek
Head to chatpeek.app/viewer. No signup, no login. It runs entirely in your browser, so your chat data never leaves your device.
- 3Upload your exported chat file
Drag your
.txtor.zipfile into the ChatPeek viewer, or click the upload area and pick it from your device. It's processed locally, so nothing gets sent to a server. - 4Head to the analytics tab
Once your chat loads, switch to Analytics to see message counts, activity timelines, emoji stats, and a breakdown by participant.
- 5Generate your Wrapped
Find "WhatsApp Wrapped" in the analytics section and let ChatPeek build your year-in-review: top stats, peak hours, most-used words, conversation highlights, all laid out visually.
- 6Share it
Screenshot it or save the summary to post or send to friends. You can also export the full analytics report as a PDF if you want a keepsake.
Tips for the Best WhatsApp Wrapped Experience
Export More Than One Chat
One conversation only tells part of the story. Export your busiest group chats and your individual ones too, and you'll get a much fuller picture of how you actually message people.
Use a Full Year of Data
The longer the history, the better the Wrapped. WhatsApp exports include everything available, so don't trim it down before uploading.
Include Media for Richer Stats
Export with media included and ChatPeek can count your images, videos, and voice notes too, adding a media breakdown to the summary.
Nobody Else Sees Your Chat
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your file is never uploaded anywhere, so whatever's in there stays between you and, well, you.
What Stats Does Your WhatsApp Wrapped Include?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is WhatsApp Wrapped the same as Spotify Wrapped?
Not officially. Spotify built and owns theirs. WhatsApp Wrapped is more of a community idea: ChatPeek analyzes your exported chat file and builds a similar year-in-review experience for your WhatsApp conversations.
Is my data safe when generating Wrapped?
Yes. ChatPeek runs entirely in your browser, so your chat file is processed on your device and never uploaded anywhere. Nobody, including us, gets to see your conversations.
Can I create Wrapped for group chats?
You can, and honestly, group chats often make for the best Wrapped summaries. You get participation rates, who dominates the conversation, and how the group's dynamic shifted over time.
How far back does the analysis go?
As far back as your export goes. ChatPeek reads your whole exported history, no date limit.
