How To Know If Someone Saved Your Number On WhatsApp
✎ Key Points:
You can gauge if someone has saved your number on WhatsApp by observing their profile picture, although this method can be unreliable due to privacy settings.
To ascertain if your number is saved, check their profile photo and status, even if your contact is not saved in your device.
If you’re blocked, you won’t be able to see the person’s profile picture, which could be a potential indicator. However, relying solely on this might be misleading, as some users keep their profile pictures public.
How To Know If Someone Saved Your Number On WhatsApp:
There are some ways to tell if someone has saved your number in his contact list:
1. Check From the DP
WhatsApp has introduced a new feature called Profile Picture privacy settings, allowing users to control who can see their profile picture – either everyone, only their contacts, or nobody.
If you’re interested in knowing whether your friends or loved ones have saved your contact on WhatsApp, follow these steps.
Here are some expert tips on checking DP visibility.
? Verify If DP is Visible from Another Phone:
To ensure the visibility of a suspect’s profile picture to all, save their number on a mobile phone that has never saved the target’s number or doesn’t have it in its contacts.
This step yields two conclusions: whether the DP is visible on the alternate phone or not.
? The Outcomes:
If the DP is visible on your phone but not on the alternate one, it suggests that your number has been saved. In this case, the profile picture is likely set to “My Contacts” privacy instead of “Everyone.”
Under the “Everyone” option, users display their profile picture to all, while under “My Contacts,” only those in the contact list can view it. If the profile picture is visible on both devices, it doesn’t necessarily confirm that your number has been saved.
2. Check by Uploading Status
To confirm whether your number is saved in someone’s contacts, you can check if they view your status and stories on WhatsApp. If they do, it indicates that your number has been added to their contact list.
? First, Upload Status from Your Phone:
Post a video or picture status on WhatsApp that you want your friend or loved one to see.
? The Outcomes:
It may take some time for the uploaded status to be visible to them. Once you notice their name in the viewers’ list, it suggests that they have saved your number.
If their name doesn’t appear, it doesn’t necessarily mean they haven’t saved your contact. They might not have seen your status yet, so you can try this method multiple times.
Be patient and keep in mind that sometimes the status is viewed shortly before the 24-hour period ends, so you might miss seeing their name on the list.
Creating a WhatsApp Group
You can create a WhatsApp group and add the person to it. If they can see your name and number in the group, it’s likely that they have saved your number. However, keep in mind that some people may have set their privacy settings not to display their names in group chats.
Checking Last Seen Status
If you can see the person’s last seen status, it could indicate that they have saved your number. However, it’s also possible that they have allowed their last seen status to be visible to all contacts.
Sending a Message
If you have the person’s number saved on your phone, you can send them a WhatsApp message. If the message is delivered and read, it might suggest that they have your number saved. However, not receiving a response doesn’t necessarily mean that they haven’t saved your number.
Checking the About Section
If the person has filled out their About section, it may contain information about you that indicates they have saved your number. However, some people may not fill out their About section or may not include information about you even if they have saved your number.
How to See How Someone Saved Your Number on WhatsApp:
There is no direct way, but with a few settings, you can guess how your name appears on their contact list.
Stage 1: Open WhatsApp on your device and tap on the three dots at the top right corner.
Stage 2: Select “New Broadcast” and add the suspect’s contact with another user whose number is already saved on their device.
Stage 3: Send a message to the broadcast list.
Stage 4: Once the message is delivered, tap and long-press the text and tap on the notification option.
Stage 5: Two sections named “Delivered by” and “Read by” will appear on the screen. If they have saved your number, you’ll see their name in this section. If not, it indicates they haven’t saved your number.
Would You Get a ‘Delivered’ Tag on Messages if Your Number is Not Saved?
Whether your number is saved or not, you will see the “sent” or “delivered” tag when you send the message. Additionally, you will also see the last seen information regarding the suspect, even if your number is not saved. The double tick will appear when the message is delivered to the inbox, but it will turn blue if the message is opened.
