If I delete a contact in WhatsApp, will they still see it - briefly?
If you delete a contact from your WhatsApp, the other person will not be able to see your contact information, but they can still communicate with you if they have your number saved in their contacts.
If I delete a contact in WhatsApp, will they still see it - in detail?
When you delete a contact from your phone's address book or the contacts list within WhatsApp, it primarily affects your local device and does not directly impact the other person's experience. Here is a detailed breakdown of what happens:
- Local Deletion: Removing a contact from your device only deletes that entry from your personal contacts list. This means you will no longer see their name, number, or any associated information when browsing through your contacts on WhatsApp or your phone's address book.
- WhatsApp Conversations: Deleting a contact does not remove the conversation history with that person from your WhatsApp. The chat will still be visible in your list of chats, and you can continue to communicate with them as usual. However, their name may appear as an unknown number or simply their phone number if it was not saved in your contacts.
- No Notification: The other person will not receive any notification or indication that you have deleted their contact information. They will remain unaware of this action unless they are specifically informed by you.
- Future Interactions: If the other person tries to contact you through WhatsApp, their messages will still be delivered to your device. You will see their number or name as it appears in your chat list, but not as it was saved in your contacts.
- No Impact on Their Device: The deletion of a contact from your end has no effect on the other person's phone or WhatsApp application. They will continue to see your name and number as they have saved it, and their experience using WhatsApp remains unaffected.
In summary, deleting a contact in WhatsApp only affects your local device and does not notify or impact the other person's view of the conversation. The chat history remains intact, and communication can continue seamlessly from both sides.
