I'm an engineer and data is always fun to play with. WhatsApp logs from my long distance partner in Sweden makes for great material to dig into and have fun with.

  1. Communication density plot accounting for how many bytes of information are exchanged over time.
  2. EWMA Communication Stability chart which helps to track average vs outlier communication over time.
  3. FFT of communication patterns.

Takeaways:

  • We're pretty much always communicating when we can and through the day.
  • Communication has stabilized over time into a more normal cadence, and often with more positive spikes.
  • We tend to chat more around trips as the anticipation builds for being together.

  1. Have you shown your partner these figures? Genuinely curious

  2. Hey this is awesome. Appreciate you sharing. Didn’t think of Whatsapp logs. I wonder if this can be done from my iPhone messages…
