In WhatsApp, the privacy levels allow you to configure the degree of information that we share with our contacts or with anyone in a public way; however, we can never prevent a stranger (who has access to our number) from adding us to their contact list. This can be a problem if you like to leave some of your profile data in public, but with this trick you can quickly identify them and decide the best.
The method It is already a few years old, but it is still compatible with the most recent versions of WhatsApp, since it does not need any external app and it is more about a little game that we can do in it app.
Another strong point is that it works both for the version of Android What iPhone, without difference in the process, since the routine does not depend on any configuration option, but on the use of a native function of the messaging service.

- Open WhatsApp on your iPhone or Android
- Click on the three lines in the upper right corner

- You will be asked to write a message, you can write the one you like, such as: “test”
- Once done, click on to send
When you’ve sent the broadcast message, it all depends on the contacts you don’t recognize reading the message. Wait a reasonable time and then check the information tab of the message. To do so, follow these steps:
- Long press the message you sent as a broadcast
- You will see a list with the people who read. Here you should pay attention and look for a number that you do not recognize
- If you find one and you are sure that it does not belong to anyone you know, then it is a stranger who has your number added.
