How to Know Who Viewed My WhatsApp Profile, DP and Status?

WhatsApp is undoubtedly the most reliable and robust messenger application for our smartphones. Since its inception, the messenger is now serving billions of people across the globe for daily chit-chats, document sharing, voice, video calls, etc. It has already gained a high level of trust and a massive user base because of its simplicity and features.

We have so many contacts saved on our smartphones using WhatsApp. Also, many of them might be checking out WhatsApp profiles and DP but are not sure who are they. Though we believe that WhatsApp is protected and no one can stalk us remotely, is it so? Are we protected from WhatsApp stalkers? Have you ever thought to check who visited my WhatsApp Profile and Status?

If you are concerned about that and looking for a way to know who visited your Whatsapp profile and DP, then you are at the right place. In this article, we’ll show your how to know who viewed my Whatsapp profile and status. Read on.

How to Know Who Viewed My WhatsApp Profile on Android?

Unfortunately, you cannot track who viewed your WhatsApp profile. Whatsapp does not count and maintain logs of who viewed whose profiles, and they aren’t displayed either. However, you can control who sees your profile and photos by changing your privacy options.

What’s confusing people is the existence of a plethora of third-party android applications which claim that they can track who viewed your profile. And the funny side is that some of them also come with a paid version.😂 I will show you a couple of them. But before I do, you need to understand this clearly:

These so-called “WhatsApp profile trackers” are useless and cannot help track your profile visits. If you install such apps and keep them on your smartphone for a few hours, they will show you a list of random people from your contacts list. Do you think that it is real? Definitely not. All the info they are providing is completely bogus! They are absolute time wasters.

Basically, if they want to track your profile views, they either have to partner with Whatsapp or hack the Whatsapp server. Needless to say, the feasibility for both of the methods is almost zero. So What’s next? Can you track who is stalking you on Whatsapp?

The short answer is NO. This is because only the Whatapp company has the information about its users, and this data is untraceable by any third-party apps. Whatsapp provides no such APIs for this to work. So unless Whatsapp shares the data, no one can ever get the actual data. And we believe Whatsapp will never compromise its users’ data and privacy.

Now, just for your awareness, let’s look at a few such useless applications. This is just for educational purposes, and we highly recommend staying away from such apps and tools.

1. Who Viewed My Profile – Wprofile

This is one of the apps that are still available on the Google Play Store. They even claim to provide instant notifications and detailed daily, monthly, and yearly reports. When you install the app, it may ask you for some permissions to access your device to provide you with what you want.

We don’t tell anything more. Here’s the screenshot of a review of the app from the Play Store.

2. Whats Tracker – Who Viewed My Profile?

Here comes another one that claims they can scan your account and gives you instant information about all the profile visitors and the time of their visits.

The app will ask you for all the permission; in the worst case, if you try the app, never give those permissions. If you provide access to your contacts only, it will show you a list of random contacts in which most of them will be blurred. They are available in the paid version only and ask for money to reveal those blurred contacts.

How to Know Who Viewed My WhatsApp Profile on iPhone?

Back in 2017, an app named WRevealer claimed to be working on jailbroken iPhones. But the app is not available now, and it seems the developer has stopped the update and support of the app.

Out of curiosity, I researched how the app worked and collected as many reviews and opinions as possible. From that, many people opined that it was working for them and that too for jailbroken devices.On the other hand, several people differ in their opinions.

As there existed mixed responses, I took a deep dive into some online communities and found that it provided the data of people online on WhatsApp, not those who visited one’s profile.

For iPhone users too, there is no working method to trace the people who visited your profile on WhatsApp.

How to Know Who Viewed My WhatsApp Status?

If you are aware of the Status option on Whatsapp, they are the only way by which you can track something with your contacts. You can accurately track who viewed my WhatsApp status if you update the status in your account. In a minute, we’ll show you how to do that step-by-step.

1. First of all, open the WhatsApp app on your mobile.
2. Open that Status tab.
3. Tap on My Status. Now a list of statuses will be shown to you.
4. Tap on the particular status you have to see who viewed the status.
5. Find the eye icon at the bottom of the status. Tap on that, and you can see who viewed your status. Along with that, at what time did they see the status. The recent views will be shown in x minutes ago format, and the exact time will be shown for the rest.

Note that by this method, you can only see who visited my WhatsApp status, not the profile.

How to Know Who Viewed My WhatsApp DP?

Sorry to say, to date, there is no way to track and see who viewed your WhatsApp profile picture. As we said before, we cannot know the actual data about the people who visited your DP unless WhatsApp provides such a provision in the app or WhatsApp Web. We’ll update it here if there is any trick or hacks like that.

How to Control Who Sees Your WhatsApp Profile?

Although WhatsApp doesn’t notify you about who visits your profile, they give you much control over who can see your information. If you are worried to know if someone stalking you on WhatsApp, you can change your privacy settings so that nobody or contacts only can view your information.

Changing Privacy Settings

Here are several things you can do to protect your information like last seen, profile photo, about info, and status.

1. To change your privacy option, open WhatsApp, tap on the three-dot main menu, and navigate to Settings > Account > Privacy.
2. Now change your setting as per your wish. Here are the screenshots of how to do that.

Blocking on WhatsApp

If you want to restrict some specific contacts from viewing your status, profile photo, and even messaging, blocking them on the app is the best method. But you can do this only to someone on your contact list, and let’s see how to do that.

1. Tap on the WhatsApp profile picture of the contact you want to block.
2. Tap on the i button that appears in the pop-up.
3. Scroll down, tap on Block < contact name>, and tap BLOCK again to confirm.

Final Words

Hopefully, now you will have some idea about the feasibility of knowing who viewed your WhatsApp profile, status, and DP. So far, we all have an official method to know the details of people who visited your status only. This is applicable for other social media platforms too. So dear friends, please don’t go for any illegal practices or those time-waster applications; your time and energy will be in vain.

Also, let us know your honest views on the same. If you find this helpful in gaining some knowledge, do share it with your friends and family.
