If someone is typing in WhatsApp but not to you, you will not be able to see their typing status. The typing indicator is only visible to the person or group they are actively communicating with.
If someone is typing in WhatsApp but not to me, will I be able to see it - in detail?
When using WhatsApp, users often wonder about the visibility of typing indicators across different conversations. To address this specifically: if someone is typing in WhatsApp but not to you, you will not be able to see their typing status.
WhatsApp's design ensures that typing indicators are only visible within the context of a specific chat. This means that when someone is composing a message to another user or group, this activity is only flagged for the participants in that particular conversation. For example, if User A is typing a message to User B, only User B will see the "typing..." indicator. User C, who is not part of this chat, will remain unaware of any typing activity between User A and User B.
This privacy measure is intended to maintain the confidentiality and intimacy of individual conversations. By limiting the visibility of typing indicators to relevant participants only, WhatsApp helps to preserve user privacy and prevents unnecessary distractions or misunderstandings that could arise from seeing unrelated typing activity.
