Popular messaging app WhatsApp is easy to use & is also very important now. In order to create an account in this app, users have to use their mobile number. In such a situation, when users are getting help from this app for both official & unofficial chat, it is difficult to hide their mobile number for those seeking privacy.
Similarly, if you add to a WhatsApp group, your group number is visible to all group members. If you do not want to share a mobile number then this method may work for you.
What is needed to do this?
- To create an account on WhatsApp, it is necessary to have a mobile number and its active. There is no way you can hide your mobile number in WhatsApp or those who message you do not see your number. It is not necessary that your number is visible on WhatsApp, you should use it.
- The first and the easiest trick is to use a secondary number. You must have two mobile numbers for this. With the help of one, the account will be created and one of these can be hid from the users.
Must have 2 mobile numbers
- To hide the contact number with the help of secondary number, you will have to consider a primary number and the second secondary. To hide the primary number, you have to download the WhatsApp & setup it. You need to enter secondary number when you log in here.
- Keep in mind that secondary numbers are activated at this time because they will get OTP from SMS or call. After entering this OTP, your account will be created. The good thing is that you do not have to log in again & again.
It will work like identity
- You can also switch the secondary number off. Now the number of WhatsApp contacts will be visible only for WhatsApp and no call or message can be made on it. In this situation nobody will be able to misuse your contact number.
- Your number will work just like WhatsApp Identity. However, you must always have this number because for some reason, if you have uninstalled WhatsApp, you will have to log in again by putting OTP to this number again.
