Unknown number has viewed our statuses
The WhatsApp statuses is content that, believe it or not, is very hermetic. It can only be seen by people we have added to our contact list of iPhone and those people also have added us to their lists. If we don't have each other added, we won't be able to see anyone's statuses.
That's right, as long as they give us permission to see them because as you know, we have the option of excluding those contacts we don't want to see our stories from WhatsApp.
But still, from time to time, we see that an unknown phone number has seen our statuses. We can finally give the official answer to this and we will tell you about it below.
An unknown number has seen my WhatsApp status, why?:
We always believed that this was because there are people who use unofficial WhatsApp tools to do it, which is true and continues to be done. Unfortunately there are unofficial applications that allow you to do everything in the most used messaging app on the planet.
Since WhatsApp already has support directly in the app, we asked them about this topic and they answered us the following:
Please note that only your contacts can see your status updates but if any of your contacts change their phone number and look at your status, they may you see a number you don't recognize.
Well, here you have one of the most awaited answers by many of you. As you rightly say, imagine that one of your friends changes their phone number and makes the pertinent changes in WhatsApp to report the change in number. Well, it is possible that he does not notify you and since he has permissions to see your statuses, since you follow each other, the phone number will appear until you add it, again, to your agenda.
Well, you already know the reason why a phone number has seen your WhatsApp status. But remember that if it is not a contact of yours who has changed your number and has seen the statuses, it is possibly a person who has used an unofficial WhatsApp app to do their thing.
Greetings.
