If a person deleted my number in WhatsApp, will it still show when they are online - briefly?
If someone has deleted your number from their WhatsApp contacts, you will not be able to see their online status. The privacy settings in WhatsApp ensure that users can control who sees their online presence, and deleting a contact's number removes this visibility.
If a person deleted my number in WhatsApp, will it still show when they are online - in detail?
If a person deletes your number from their WhatsApp contact list, the status of whether they are online or not will remain visible to you under certain conditions. WhatsApp is designed to prioritize user privacy while maintaining functionality for users who wish to communicate effectively. When a contact is deleted, the individual's status (such as "Online," "Last Seen," or "Typing...") will still be visible if the following criteria are met:
- Mutual Contact: If you have their number saved in your contacts, you can see their online status even if they have deleted yours. This is because WhatsApp uses both parties' contact lists to determine visibility.
- Recent Interaction: Even if the contact is not saved in either party’s contact list, recent interactions (such as messages or calls) may still allow you to see their online status for a certain period after the last interaction. This feature helps maintain continuity in communication.
- Group Membership: If both of you are part of the same WhatsApp group, you will be able to see each other's online status within that group context, regardless of individual contact list deletions.
- Privacy Settings: WhatsApp offers privacy settings that allow users to control who can see their online status. If a user has restricted their "Last Seen" and "Online" visibility to specific contacts or nobody at all, then even if you meet the above criteria, you will not be able to see their online status.
In summary, while deleting a contact from WhatsApp removes some features of interaction, it does not necessarily hide their online status from you completely. The visibility depends on mutual contact saving, recent interactions, group memberships, and individual privacy settings configured by the user who deleted your number.
