TRUE WhatsApp addicts will send tens of thousands of texts – but who do you message the most?

A lesser-known WhatsApp feature lets you check how many texts you've sent to each contact.

You can find the number of texts you've sent and received in a chat, and how many times you've shared locations.

It also shows how many photos, GIFs, videos, voice messages, documents and stickers have been sent – and the amount of storage space they're taking up.

Finally, you can even see exactly how much storage space your chat with a person is clogging up overall. Maybe your pals are a bigger burden than you thought?

In any case, these figures can reveal who your true WhatsApp bestie really is.
