If you hide statuses from a subscriber in WhatsApp, will they know - in detail?
Hiding your status updates from specific contacts on WhatsApp is a feature designed to provide users with more control over their privacy. When you hide your status from someone, they won't be able to see the updates you share through your status. However, it's important to note that this action does not completely go unnoticed by the person whose access has been restricted.
When you hide your status from a contact, WhatsApp does not send any notification or alert to inform them about this change. Therefore, they will not receive an explicit message stating that their access to your status updates has been limited. However, if they try to view your status and find that it is no longer visible, they may infer that you have restricted their access. This could potentially lead to questions or concerns from the contact regarding why they can no longer see your status updates.
It's also worth mentioning that WhatsApp does not provide a way for users to know who has viewed their status if they are not in their contacts list. Therefore, even if someone is not included in your contacts and tries to view your status, you will not be able to see them in the list of viewers.
In summary, while hiding your status from a contact on WhatsApp does not send an alert or notification, the person may still become aware that they no longer have access to your updates if they attempt to view them and find that they are hidden.
