The trick to discover who your partner is chatting with, without using dangerous ‘apps’
Some WhatsApp users are unaware that the platform has a tool that exposes user activity by revealing which contacts they chat with the most. In addition, it is a method that does not require the installation of apps unofficial or require payment to use them.
So that by resorting to this trick, the operation of the phone will not be jeopardized, nor will the personal information (chats, photos and videos) that the user has saved on their smartphone.
How to discover which contacts a user chats with the most?
To discover which are the contacts to which a WhatsApp user sends messages the most, it is necessary to follow the following steps:
- Open WhatsApp and go to the main menu of the application, pressing the three-dot button that is in the upper right part
- Select the ‘settings’ option.
- Tap on ‘Storage & Data’ and then choose ‘Manage storage’.
- Enter ‘Manage storage data’
- An indicator will appear on the screen that reflects how much space it occupies on the phone, the files received by the app.
- Review the list of contacts that appears on the screen: the first places are the numbers with which the user chats the most.
It should be noted that, despite the fact that this method does help to expose the names of the contacts with which a WhatsApp user communicates the most, this option was not implemented in the apps for that purpose. Originally, the said tool has the function to help users quickly check and delete unnecessary files that are stored from the popular instant messaging application.
In this way, you can quickly free up storage memory on the phone.
