People tend to be curious by nature and, in many cases, that curiosity turns into gossip. This leads many to wonder how their contact, their friends, family, partner or co-worker have saved it on their mobile. There is no totally effective way to know, but there are several tricks thanks to WhatsApp to know how they have kept you.
Currently, WhatsApp is the most used tool in much of the world due to its simplicity and versatility. This application hides different functions and possibilities that are little known to most users. Such popularity, on the other hand, carries a subset of risks that we must take into account, such as malicious applications with malware to add false extra functions.
Discover how they have saved you on WhatsApp
There is no App that allows you to know this information and WhatsApp does not show it to you either. The simplest and most direct method is to ask that person to send us our own contact. The person in question will share with us how they have us stored on their smartphone and thus we will have the information we wanted.
This is a safe method, but not always the most effective. It may be that you want to know how that partner with whom you get along badly or your ex-partner keeps you. For this you must ally yourself with some common contact.
If you have a friend or acquaintance in common, this person could ask for your contact to be passed on to them. The most typical excuse is that you have lost contact, something quite effective and that no one usually questions.
This is how you can know how that person with whom you get along badly or your former romantic partner cares about you. This approach is more sibylline and avoids suspicions or excessive questions.
The truth is that there is no other method that allows you to know this information. WhatsApp only shows the name with which we save our contact, not how that person stores us. Any other method or trick that you may find out there, that you know, surely puts your privacy and security at risk.
Avoid magic apps
You should know that there are no magical applications that allow you to obtain this information. This type of application is actually nothing more than malicious software that only aims to steal your data, in the best of cases. Some can even clone the photos and documents stored on your device, something that probably doesn’t interest you at all.
Recognizing these applications is quite simple. Most of these miracle apps have few downloads. Additionally, they often have huge valuation imbalances. They usually have many 5-star ratings (purchased obviously) and many 1-star ratings. Which should make us doubt.
Something we can also do is check who is the editor who uploaded the application. If you only have that app or you have more rare apps, we should be extremely suspicious.
You have to know that Google is very lax when it comes to allowing applications to be uploaded to its store, compared to Apple’s major obstacles. This makes the Android store a breeding ground for malicious applications that try to steal your personal information.
