WhatsR: Parsing, Anonymizing and Visualizing Exported 'WhatsApp' Chat
Logs
Imports 'WhatsApp' chat logs and parses them into
a usable dataframe object. The parser works on chats exported
from Android or iOS phones and on Linux, macOS and Windows. The parser has multiple options for extracting smileys and emojis
from the messages, extracting URLs and domains from the messages, extracting names and types of sent
media files from the messages, extracting timestamps from messages, extracting and anonymizing author
names from messages. Can be used to create anonymized versions of data.
