Most Unread WhatsApp Messages

K Srivastava

K Srivastava was added to a busy WhatsApp group on 23 August 2026 and did not open it for nine days. In the video, the chat opens on WhatsApp's own banner reading 17,111 unread messages, which ticks up to 17,112 as another message arrives mid-clip, directly below the notice marking the day K Srivastava joined. RecordSetter checked the count against that in-app counter, and this record's rules allow messages from a group chat. Message text and members' details are pixelated in the video to protect the group's privacy.

Pakistan

Most Profile Pictures On A Facebook Account

Abdul Rehman Nasim

Abdul Rehman of Karachi, Pakistan, opened the Profile pictures album on his own Facebook account, where Facebook's counter reads 1,855 items. His three-and-a-half-minute screen recording then scrolls through the album, a wall of selfies, portraits, flags, calligraphy and slogans, before returning to the same 1,855 count at the top. The result comes straight from Facebook's own album total. That is a lot of first impressions.

Spain

Most YouTube Subscribers Gained From A Single Short

Nico Tous

Nico Tous runs Hisy, a Spanish-language Minecraft channel, and its 52-second Short "¿Puedes Hacer Esto?", Spanish for "can you do this," went up on April 15, 2025. In a YouTube Studio screen recording made on September 27, 2026, he opens the Short's analytics and steps through the subscriber chart as it climbs past a million and levels off at 1,026,703, which is YouTube's own count of net subscribers gained from that one video. RecordSetter matched the channel and the 27.8 million views shown in Studio against the public Short. Under a minute of Minecraft, over a million new subscribers.
