There have been some pretty bad reviews for WhatsApp. One of the reasons is that it is impossible to determine whether there is a number on the service if it is not recorded in the contact book. After the release of version 2.19.30, the situation has changed. Now it is not difficult to find out which subscriber is registered in WhatsApp and who is not on the service. This feature is really useful when you need to check a third-party subscriber’s number for an account in the service. Previously, for this you had to add the left numbers to “Contacts”.
How do I check if I have a number on WhatsApp?
There is nothing complicated about that. You only need:
- Launch the application on your smartphone. Download the latest version of WhatsApp.
- Go to the “Chats” page (located at the bottom of the screen).
- Tap the New Chat icon (the button is located at the top in the right corner).
- Select the item “New contact”.
- Provide a phone number. Important! You need to enter the entire number, including the country code. If there is a number in the address book, you need to click on the entry “Already in the contact list”.
If everything goes well and it becomes possible to exchange messages with the user, then he is on the service. Otherwise, the entry “Doesn’t use WhatsApp” will be displayed.
Using this guide, it’s easy to find out if the number is on WhatsApp. However, the function should be used reasonably. It is unknown, this is how it should be or this is an error, but WhatsApp stops detecting the presence of numbers in the service if the feature is used frequently.
