How it works
The hour view groups message timestamps by hour of day. Open its details to inspect the distribution.
Step by step
Open an analysis and select the hour tab.
Compare the hour bars, then open the detailed view.
Check the busiest hour against the displayed message counts.
What to keep in mind
This is a distribution of exported timestamps, not a record of time spent in WhatsApp or continuous online activity.
Opening chart and emoji details for your own chats requires Pro. The sample chat is fully unlocked.
Your first analysis is free. Pro unlocks unlimited analyses, full Wrapped and sharing. See the app for current local prices.
Questions and answers
What do the statistics actually measure?
Results describe the successfully parsed messages in the imported file. Missing history affects totals. Response times and conversation endings are timestamp rules, not read receipts or evidence of feelings.
Can I analyze more than one chat?
Your first analysis is free. Pro unlocks unlimited analyses, full Wrapped and sharing. See the app for current local prices. Each imported chat is analyzed separately; multiple chats in one archive are not a verified import path.
