Guides

Short, plain explanations of what WaTrue measures and how to read it — so the numbers on your dashboard actually mean something.

WaTrue only ever works with metadata (when messages happen, with whom, and in which direction) — never the contents of your chats. These guides explain exactly what that covers, how each chart is calculated, and where your data lives.

Topics

What WaTrue can — and can't — tell you

Metadata vs. message content: the exact line WaTrue never crosses.

How online time is calculated

Activity sessions, idle gaps, and why the number is conservative.

Reading the chat-frequency & contact charts

Sent vs. received, time-of-day blocks, and who you talk to most.

Privacy: what's collected and where it lives

Your data stays in your private dashboard — no one else can see it.

Setting up and scanning your WhatsApp

Link a number once; it stays bound and collects 24/7 in the background.
