How to see how you are subscribed in WhatsApp by others - briefly?

To check how you are saved in someone else's contact list on WhatsApp, open their chat, tap on the top where it shows their name, and look at the options provided there. If you see a phone icon, they have saved your number; if you see a pencil icon, they haven't saved your number.

How to see how you are subscribed in WhatsApp by others - in detail?

To determine how you are listed or subscribed to in other people's contacts on WhatsApp, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your mobile device.
  2. Access Settings: Tap on the three vertical dots located at the top-right corner of the screen to access the menu options. From there, select "Settings."
  3. Navigate to Account: Within the settings menu, look for and tap on "Account" to proceed to account-related options.
  4. View Privacy Settings: Inside the Account settings, you will see an option labeled "Privacy." Select this to view various privacy settings related to your WhatsApp profile.
  5. Check Contacts: One of the key elements under the Privacy settings is the "Contacts" section. Here, you can review how your contact information is shared with other users on WhatsApp. The options typically include:

    • Everyone: This means that anyone who has your phone number saved in their contacts will see your name and profile picture if you have set them.
    • My Contacts: Only people whose numbers are saved in your phone's contact list can view your name and profile picture.
    • Nobody: No one except you can see your name or profile picture. They will only see your phone number.
  6. Review Your Status: Another important aspect is the "Status" privacy setting, which controls who can see your status updates. Options include Everyone, My Contacts, and Nobody. This does not directly show how others have you listed but affects what they can view from your WhatsApp activity.
  7. Check Blocked Contacts: Additionally, under Privacy settings, you can review a list of blocked contacts to ensure that certain individuals are restricted from viewing your profile information or contacting you.

By carefully managing these privacy settings, you have control over how much information about yourself is visible to others on WhatsApp. This process not only helps in understanding how you appear in other people's contacts but also ensures a secure and private communication experience.
