How to check who viewed your whatsapp profile
4 Ways to Know Who Viewed Your WhatsApp Profile or Status [Exposed]
There’s a lot of debate going on about if you can actually see who viewed your WhatsApp profile.
Many third-party apps claim to provide this feature. And many people claim that it’s all fake (I’m one of them).
Today I’ve tried 4 of these apps to see if any of them work. You can check out my not so surprising findings below.
Contents
Can You Actually See Who Viewed Your WhatsApp Profile or Status?
Sadly, you can’t see who has viewed your WhatsApp profile. WhatsApp has no feature that lets you see who viewed your profile. However, you can control who sees your WhatsApp profile.
You can control who views your “last seen“, “profile photo”, “about info” & “WhatsApp status”.
You can set your “last seen”, “profile photo”, and “about info” to:
- Everyone
- My contacts
- Nobody
To change your WhatsApp privacy settings, you go to More options > Settings > Account > Privacy. Here you’ll be able to change your WhatsApp viewing options as you please.
If you’re worried someone might be stalking your profile you can just set these settings to either “nobody”, or “my contacts”. Let’s just hope there aren’t any stalkers in your contacts.
Note: If you set your last seen to “Nobody” you won’t be able to see anyone else’s last seen either!
If you came into this article to find a way to check if your ex has been checking up on your WhatsApp profile, I’m sorry to say that’s just not an option.
But don’t lose hope just yet! There is still a way to know if someone is stalking you on WhatsApp.
I’m sure you know that WhatsApp has a Status feature, similar to that of Instagram & Facebook. WhatsApp has a whole tab dedicated to WhatsApp status-es.
If you didn’t know this, you can actually see who views your WhatsApp status. Which is a great way of knowing if someone is stalking you on WhatsApp (covered in more detail later in the article) .
Even though there is no way to know who viewed your WhatsApp profile, many third-party applications claim to allow you to see who viewed your WhatsApp profile.
How do I Know Who Viewed My WhatsApp Profile on Android?
Before I show you the applications that claim to help you see your WhatsApp profile viewers, you need to understand this:
From my experience, these applications are completely bogus. Some of them just give you random names from your contacts. The only way a third-party application would be able to determine if someone viewed your WhatsApp is if they hack into WhatsApp’s database, which would get you banned from WhatsApp’s services and again isn’t an easy thing to do!
Even though, we know there’s no actual way of knowing who viewed your WhatsApp profile, the applications mentioned below could be used as a gag joke.
With that out of the way, let’s talk about the 3 applications for android that claim to help you see who viewed your WhatsApp profile.
1. WhatsApp – Who Viewed Me
The first application on this list is WhatsApp – Who Viewed Me. Obviously, this application isn’t available on the Google play store, because they condemn applications like these. But you can download it from ROiDhub.
Now, I’m sure you can tell how fake this app is just by looking at this:
To me this already screams “SCAM”. But the second you launch the app; it asks for permission to:
- Make and manage phone calls
- Access your contacts
- Access your location
Now, if you’re going to be using this application (even as a joke), I recommend you deny access to phone calls and location because an application as sketchy as this should not be able to make phone calls and see where you live!
Once you get the app up and running, you might get an error saying, “the app was built for an older version of Android”. This makes it very clear that this app has not been maintained.
When you tap on the “Scan” button, the app shows you random names from your contacts. Sadly, it’s literally nothing more than a glorified dice roll.
If you still want to download this application and try it out for yourself, you can get the APK from here:
Try WhatsApp Who Viewed Me
2. Whats Tracker
This next application is a tad bit newer. From what I can see the Whats Tracker started surfacing around the end of 2017. Again, for obvious reasons, this app isn’t available on the Google Play Store, but you can get it from APKMonk.
One thing I found rather humorous, is how on the download page, it says “for Android 16 and Above”. If you’re even a bit familiar with the Android operating system, you would know that the most recent version of Android is Android 10.
Now, to its credit, this app looks more convincing than WhatsApp – Who Viewed Me.
It asks for the same permissions the previous app asked. If you’re trying it out for yourself, make sure to deny access to phone calls and your location!
You can give the app access to your contacts because it won’t be able to work without them. Instead of showing a couple of random contacts (like WhatsApp – Who Viewed Me), the Whats Tracker app shows you a whole list of contacts. It even blurs a few of them out and asks for your money.
One other thing you’ll notice is, it has three different tabs in the app.
- Contacts
- Visited
- Visitor
I’m not quite sure what visited and visitor means. Is visited the people who visited me? Or is it the people I visited?
But after a lot of thinking I came to the conclusion, that visitor refers to the people who visited me (as in, ‘my visitors’). And visited refers to the people I visited.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter.
Because it’s all just random people the app chose from my contacts.
You can check out Whats Tracker here:
Try Whats Tracker
3. Who Viewed My Profile – WhatsApp
The third and final app that claims to tell you who viewed your WhatsApp profile is, “Who viewed my profile – WhatsApp”. This app was the worst of them all.
As soon as you open it, it asks the permissions to:
- Access Contacts
- Access photos, media, and files on your device
- Make and manage phone calls
- Access your location
Now, I denied permission to all these settings except contacts. And if you’re going to try out this app, you should do the same. Just to be safe.
The app showed a familiar message when starting up, saying that the app was developed for an older version of Android.
After the app loads up, it asks you for your number and your name. I typed my info in, (I recommend you don’t do that), and then pressed Register.
Unfortunately, the app was unresponsive. I tried it a bunch of times but was unsuccessful.
I’m not sure if this happened because I denied the app Access to my phone’s storage, or because the app was just not made for Android 10.

How to Know Who Viewed My WhatsApp Profile on iPhone (iOS)?
Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about you iPhone folks.
1. WRevealer
The only app that stood out to me for iOS is WRevealer. Unfortunately, I think support for this app has been dropped. As on WRevealer’s Twitter profile, their last tweet is dated May 28, 2017.
From what I found, WRevealer used to work only on jailbroken iPhones. There were a lot of claims around this iOS application, people saying that it actually worked.
Unfortunately, after a little digging, I realized the app only shows you other WhatsApp contacts that are online, not people who viewed your WhatsApp.
The app was supported till iOS 10, after which it looks like its development was stopped.
I did some more digging and found out that WRevealer was made by Rami Moghrabi from Lebanon. And currently, he’s working on a new project.
But I couldn’t find a working download link for WRevealer.
How to Know Who Viewed My WhatsApp Status?
Checking to see who has viewed your WhatsApp status is pretty straightforward.
Note: You need to put up a WhatsApp status before checking to see who’s viewed it.
Just follow these steps:
- Open WhatsApp.
- Go to the Status tab.
- Tap on your WhatsApp status.
- Tap on the eye icon at the bottom of the screen.
- WhatsApp will now show you who has viewed your WhatsApp Status.
FAQs – Who Viewed My WhatsApp Profile/Status?
Can I See who is Stalking me on WhatsApp?
Short answer:
Yes, you can.
Long answer:
It depends on your definition of stalking.
If by stalking you mean “someone checking to see when you were last seen online,” then no, you can’t do that. You can, however, restrict who sees your last seen. We’ve talked about it in more detail above.
But, if by stalking you mean who checks your WhatsApp status, you can follow the steps above to check to see who viewed your WhatsApp status.
If you don’t want someone to be able to view your WhatsApp status, check out our in-depth article on how to show/hide WhatsApp Status.

Conclusion

I would strongly advise you to stay away from any of the apps we mentioned above, as I cannot attest to how safe they may be.

How To Tell Who Viewed Your WhatsApp Profile
WhatsApp is one of the most popular chat apps in the world, with more than 2 billion users around the globe in 2021. One common question about the app is whether it is possible to tell who has viewed your profile.
Can you see if anyone is checking you out or stalking you on the app? Can you control who sees your status, updates, or who can contact you? In this article, I will answer these questions and more.

As with any social network, there are people who you don’t want to communicate with online. How much control does WhatsApp give you over who can see your information?
In fact, you have a great deal of control over this information. WhatsApp lets you control who can see when you were last online, who can see your profile photo, who can see your “About” information, who can see your status, whether or not you send read receipts upon request, and whether you share your live location.
Can I see who Viewed my WhatsApp Profile??
If you’re wondering who is viewing your WhatsApp profile, you won’t be able to see that information.
WhatsApp does not maintain logs of who has viewed whose profile. Profile visits aren’t counted or displayed. There are apps (banned from the app store that you have to sideload onto your phone, which should tell you something) that claim to be able to provide this information, but they aren’t telling the truth.
In all honesty, there are no apps for this because WhatsApp is such a basic use app. You can have a status, but it is not like you post photos or are trying to garner likes from the outside world. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your views on privacy), it’s simply not possible to see if someone has viewed your profile or not.
How to Protect Your Information
Depending on how your settings are programmed determines who can see what information about your WhatsApp profile. You can authorize your viewing audience for everyone, contacts only, or no one.
Changing these settings is very easy.
- Tap on Settings.
- Tap on Account.
- Tap on Privacy and make changes as you see fit.
Can I See who is Stalking me on Whatsapp?
Yes, and no. You can only see who is stalking you if they’ve added you already. WhatsApp is a straightforward app. If someone wants to talk to you, they can call or send you a text if they have you in their contacts or if you can find you via a search. The most anyone can do to stalk you on WhatsApp short of getting in touch with you (at which point you know they’re a stalker, obviously) is to check your profile out for changes.
But WhatsApp isn’t a social media app in the way that things like Facebook are; generally, you put your status information on your profile and then forget about it. Other than watching your status, there isn’t any information for a stalker to collect, and there’s no way for you to see that they’re paying attention.
If you are really worried about a stalker, then you can always try to figure out who it would be, stalkers are usually known to you, or you can just not use your status as a real-time update on what you are doing. No stalker is going to be able to use “Feeling Great Today!” to find out anything about you other than you’re in a great mood.
Blocking on WhatsApp
Although WhatsApp doesn’t notify you who is viewing your information, they do give you a lot of control over who is able to see it. If you’re concerned about someone viewing your WhatsApp profile, you can set your privacy settings so no one can see your information or contacts only.
WhatsApp can automatically upload all of your contacts from your phone. If you’d like to check these for privacy you can tap on the new chat icon in the lower left-hand corner of the screen and scroll through the list.
If you’d like to block one, here’s how:
- Tap on the contact you’d like to block.
- Tap on the i with a circle around it.
- Click Block.
From here you can report or block the contact. Once this is done, they’ll no longer be able to view your WhatsApp profile.
Will Someone Know if I Check their Last Seen on WhatsApp?
No, currently, no one can check if you’ve looked at their Last Seen on WhatsApp, and there are now no apps that let you track this. This is good news if you want to check who has also seen the other person’s story but isn’t useful for anything else.
All you can see is who saw it, not how many times or the different features on the App. Only the person who put the photos on their story can see that information. If you keep checking their story, watch out because if you have receipts turned on, they can see how many times you viewed it.
Can you see When Someone Has Viewed your WhatsApp Story?
Absolutely, If you and the other person has turned on their receipts. Whatsapp works on the “it’s only fair” mantra. If they can see who’s viewed your story, you can see theirs.
On the flip side, if you want to stay private, don’t turn this option on.
- Go to your Privacy Settings by going to your Settings tab.
- Go to the bottom of the page and click Read receipts.
After turning on “Read receipts,” both you and the other person who has turned on receipts will be able to see each other’s WhatsApp story. This can be handy if you are worried about a stalker because if the other person has their read receipts on you can see how often they are looking at your story.
How to See Who Viewed Your Status
If you’d like to see who viewed your status, you can. Unlike your profile, the Status updates on WhatsApp do alert you to who may be stalking, or simply checking out, your account.
To check who has viewed your status simply click the “eye” icon at the bottom and it will show your views.
Keep in mind that your Status only lasts for 24 hours, after that you won’t be able to see who viewed the content you posted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Someone said they caught me looking at their profile. How is this possible?
If someone caught you snooping, you aren’t alone. More often than not the other user is merely guessing (albeit making a very good guess apparently). It’s likely the other user saw that you were online and messaged you to see if you were actually viewing their profile. Of course, if you viewed their Story, made mention of a profile change, or messaged them it’s safe to say this is how they knew you were checking their profile.
On the other hand, if you opened their chat (even accidentally) WhatsApp may have alerted the user that you were typing. This would, of course, indicate that you were viewing their profile.
Should I use a third-party service to see who viewed my profile?
This certainly isn’t advisable for several reasons. The first being that most of the sites and apps that promise to show you who’s visiting your WhatsApp profile are scams.
This could be for reasons such as to gain access to your account or to charge for a service they can’t actually provide.
Another reason we don’t recommend this as an option is because we already know WhatsApp doesn’t store this information, so it begs the question how a third-party service could possibly know something the developers don’t? If you are desperate to know who’s viewing your profile and opt for a third-party service be sure to read the reviews and do research on the developers first.

Who watched my vatsap, whatsapp
WhatsApp has forever become a favorite for users when it comes to instant electronic communication. Whatsapp is now completely different from what it was quite recently.
Especially since Facebook bought WhatsApp, we have seen many changes to the app.
WhatsApp currently allows you to cover your last visit; he introduced a replacement function that allows you to understand whether the recipient has read your message or not; it currently allows you to call your whatsapp friends. All of these improve your overall WhatsApp experience. Apart from native WhatsApp features, you can even use some third party apps to schedule WhatsApp messages, record WhatsApp calls and video calls, etc.
We all know that the feature to see who has viewed your WhatsApp profile is not official on WhatsApp. Currently, the WhatsApp team is not even configured to use this feature as it violates user privacy. However, this should not upset you, as some developers still believe that WhatsApp requires a lot of features and therefore we have these apps to let you know who has viewed your WhatsApp profile and profile picture. nine0003
