WhatsApp is a popular messaging platform used by millions of people around the world. It has become the go-to tool for keeping up with friends, family, and colleagues.
With its ‘status’ feature, users can share photos, videos, and even text messages with their contacts on the app. But what happens if someone who didn’t save your number tries to view your WhatsApp status? Is it possible?
The answer is yes, although it’s not as straightforward as viewing a friend’s profile photo or other information. To view someone’s WhatsApp status without having their contact saved in your phone book, there are a few steps you need to follow.
First, you need to find out the person’s phone number. There are two ways of doing this: either by asking for it directly or by using a reverse lookup service like Truecaller. Once you have the phone number in hand, open up WhatsApp and search for that particular number in the ‘Contacts’ tab.
Now that you have added that person as a contact (or if they already were one), you will be able to see their status updates when they post them on WhatsApp. Note that this method only works if the person has set their status updates to be publicly visible; if they have set their status to private then only those who have saved their contact information will be able to see it.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, it is possible for someone who did not save your number to view your WhatsApp status – provided that you have made it public or they manage to find out your phone number and add it as a contact in their device.
