This is one of the questions we have all asked ourselves at some point: Who has seen my WhatsApp profile picture? Don’t be fooled, even if you are not one of those gossipmongers, you have probably wanted to know who among your contacts has entered your profile to see your picture.
And of course, why not, you have probably also entered other people’s profiles to see their pictures. In a world ruled by social media, everyone has the need to see how someone else is doing, to check out their physical appearance and lifestyle.
And although WhatsApp is not a social media like that, its features mean that we can «watch» our contacts and they can watch us.
What are these features?
With each new version, the instant messaging app brings us new features, such as emojis, custom stickers, and the very popular status. And this latter feature of status is undoubtedly one of the most used by all users.
Although we should not forget the group chats of friends, school, work, yes, those are sometimes very useful and sometimes become a real nightmare and embarrassing, because when people feel protected behind the screen of their phone, they lose their cool and send out a long list of inappropriate messages, which after calming down and carefully reading what they wrote, they try to delete it immediately… thank God there is a function to delete a message, because it has saved more than one of us from an uncomfortable situation.
Although you may not know, but there is a way to see deleted messages from WhatsApp. Sorry, I am going too far, what we are interested in is knowing if there is a way to find out who is interested in me on WhatsApp?
Yes and no, let’s step by step
There are hundreds of apps on the web that supposedly offer this information. Something that makes us very suspicious about the legitimacy of these apps is that none of them are available in the official Google Play Store.
In other words, if you want to install them, you need to enable installation permissions from unknown Android sources, which poses a serious security risk to the system. Among the apps that claim to support this feature is the famous Profile Tracker for WhatsApp.
We haven’t tried it yet, but our common sense tells us that there is something fishy going on. Here on this page, we strongly recommend that you do not install this app. Well, this app and all the ones that are not in the official App Stores.
So, is it possible to somehow know who is interested in us inside WhatsApp? Yes, of course.
WhatsApp status to the rescue
The only real and effective way to know if someone is interested in you is through the famous status messages. You probably already know what WhatsApp statuses are, but in case you don’t, status is a section within the messaging app that allows us to post a full-screen photo or video accompanied by text written by us.
They have the quirk that they last only for 24 hours, after which they disappear forever. Another feature, unknown to many, is that you can find out how many people visited your profile and who did.
Knowing who is visiting your status is very easy. The first thing to do, of course, is to post a status. Remember that the more interesting your status is, the more visits it will attract. Once posted, if you click on the button with the three dots, a screen will open with the people who have viewed your status. Since statuses have an expiration time of 24 hours, we recommend that you check this information when it is about to expire to get an overview of your status views.
It is still possible that the person you are interested in has not visited your status, so you should regularly post new and interesting statuses to get an overview of the interest in you and to check your popularity.
