In the last decade, smartphones have become increasingly popular all over the world. Due to this development, the number of people using mobile messaging apps like WhatsApp increased considerably. Today, not only text messages can be send, but also voice messages, videos, or location details. This puts a lot of load on mobile networks. To efficiently handle this traffic and provide a proper management of the cellular resources, it is necessary to understand how mobile messaging applications are used.
This project was started to find out how people communicate via WhatsApp. We want to statistically evaluate the anonymized chats and in this way develop new models for communication traffic. The more chat histories are collected, the more meaningful our research results will be.
