How to see how long a conversation lasted in WhatsApp - briefly?

To determine the duration of a conversation on WhatsApp, you can check the timestamps of the first and last messages exchanged. The difference between these times will give you the total length of the conversation.

How to see how long a conversation lasted in WhatsApp - in detail?

To determine the duration of a conversation on WhatsApp, you can follow these steps:

1. Open WhatsApp: Start by opening the WhatsApp application on your device.
2. Navigate to the Chat: Go to the specific chat whose duration you want to measure. You can do this by selecting the chat from your list of conversations.
3. Access Chat Info: Once you are in the desired chat, tap on the three dots (⋮) or the profile picture at the top right corner of the screen. This will open a dropdown menu. From there, select "View contact" if it is an individual chat, or "Group info" if it is a group chat.
4. Check Message Timestamps: Scroll to the very first message in the conversation and note down its timestamp. Then, scroll to the last message and note down its timestamp as well. The difference between these two timestamps will give you the duration of your conversation.
5. Calculate the Duration: Subtract the timestamp of the first message from the timestamp of the last message to get the total time spent in the conversation. This calculation can be done manually or using a calculator for more precise results.
6. Convert Timestamps if Necessary: WhatsApp timestamps are typically shown in the format "HH:MM" (hours and minutes). If you want to convert this into seconds, multiply the hours by 3600 and the minutes by 60, then add them together.

For example, if the first message was sent at 12:00 PM and the last message was sent at 5:30 PM, the duration would be:

• Start time: 12:00 PM (12 * 60 = 720 minutes)
• End time: 5:30 PM (17 * 60 + 30 = 1050 minutes)
• Duration: 1050 - 720 = 330 minutes or 5 hours and 30 minutes.

By following these steps, you can accurately determine how long a conversation lasted in WhatsApp.
