What Happens When You Hide a Contact on WhatsApp?

Hiding a contact on WhatsApp can have many advantages. It allows you to keep your contacts private, and it can also make it easier to find conversations with specific people. When you hide a contact, WhatsApp will not display their profile picture or status in your contacts list. The contact will still be able to message you and you will be able to message them, but they won’t show up as one of your contacts.

When you hide a contact, they will no longer appear in the “People” section of WhatsApp. This means that they won’t be able to see any of your chats or messages, unless they are part of a group chat.

If they try to start a conversation with you, their message will appear in the “Requests” section instead of the “Chats” section.

It is important to note that hiding a contact does not delete them from your contacts list. You can still view their profile information if you choose to do so by going into the “Settings” menu and selecting the “Hidden Contacts” option. You can also view any messages that have been sent from them in the past, but these messages will no longer appear in your regular chats list.

When you hide a contact on WhatsApp, it does not mean that the person is blocked from contacting you or viewing your profile information. The person can still send messages to you and view your profile information if they know where to look for it.

Conclusion:
Hiding a contact on WhatsApp gives users more control over who sees their profile information and messages. It doesn’t block them from contacting or viewing your profile information, but it does make it harder for them to do so as they won’t show up in the “People” section of WhatsApp or appear in your regular chats list.
