Has it happened to you that you want to know if someone added you to WhatsApp? And it is that, sometimes in that situation, it can bother a little and even be inappropriate to ask that fact directly. Luckily we have some methods to find out if we have been added to WhatsApp .
Trick to see if someone has added you to WhatsApp
The key to knowing if someone added you to WhatsApp as their contact is to send them a message through the broadcast list function offered by this messaging app. This function is used to send the same message repeatedly to as many contacts as possible.
Because of this it is popular with numbers of magazines, blogs or stores looking to promote their content. This function has a peculiarity: in order to receive these messages, we must have added the sender as a contact .
For this reason, we can use it to find out indirectly if someone we don’t trust very much has added us to their contacts . To do so, you just have to do the following:
- Start by opening WhatsApp and from the main interface click on the icon in the upper right corner of the screen (the three vertical dots).
- A menu with several options will be displayed, select the one that says ” New Broadcast “.
- Next, a list will open with all the contacts that you have added to WhatsApp, select one that you are sure has also added you and then the person whose you want to know if they added you . End the selection by clicking on the green check mark.
- Now it’s just a matter of you sending a test message in the chat window that will open. That done, click on the message and then click on the three-dot icon located in the upper right corner.
- At this point, a dropdown menu will reopen, select the option that says ” Info .” to see the people who have read and received the message.
- And it will only be a matter of waiting for the person who you do not know if he has added you to read the message. If he did, it would mean that he added you to his contacts , since you can only read messages from those people you have added to your contacts.
