Collect Gadgets Now, about the new unknown phone number feature, WABetaInfo shared screenshots of the new feature. In the shared screenshot, every time the user enters an unknown phone number in the application, WhatsApp will search for it outside of the user’s contacts.
“Users frequently save contacts in address book when receiving a call from an unknown phone number, so that it can identify by checking the WhatsApp profile photo, but maybe forgetting to delete the contact later, “said WabetaInfo.
Saving unknown contacts means allowing other users to see the profile photo. Searching for a phone number without saving it in the contact list can be considered as a significant additional privacy measure in enhancing the messaging user experience.

WhatsApp users on iOS, step in the chat list, tap the Start New Chat button, then enter the unknown phone number in searching bar. If the contact is on WhatsApp, you can open a chat with the owner of that number.
