Determining if a WhatsApp Contact Saved Your Number

WhatsApp remains the leading messaging app in Germany, utilized for personal connections, work discussions, and sharing daily life experiences. However, the app does not offer a direct way to verify if someone has saved your phone number.

Using a hidden feature known as broadcasts, it is possible to determine whether a contact has saved your number. Broadcasts allow users to send messages simultaneously to multiple contacts without the recipients knowing they have been grouped together.

Checking if Your Number is Saved on WhatsApp

To utilize the broadcast feature for this purpose, follow these steps:

  1. Access the broadcast option by tapping the plus sign in the upper right corner of the chat overview, then select "New Broadcast."
  2. Choose two contacts—the individual you wish to check and another person whose phone number you know is saved within their contacts.
  3. Send a neutral message, such as "Hello, how are you?"

When the message is sent, wait for delivery confirmation.

Interpreting the Delivery Reports

WhatsApp's security measures ensure that messages are only delivered to contacts whose phone numbers are saved. If the chat display shows two gray ticks for "delivered" or two blue ticks for "read," it signifies that this individual has saved your phone number.

If only a single tick is shown, though, it could mean any of the following:

  • The recipient may not have supplied a read receipt within the specified time.
  • The recipient's device may be offline or not connected to the internet.
  • The recipient may not have WhatsApp installed.

However, if two ticks appear, it indicates that your phone number is in the recipient's address book.

Note of Caution

While this method usually proves effective, it is advisable not to rely on it too heavily. Factors such as internet connectivity and the recipient's installation of WhatsApp may influence the outcome.
