The sender will not be able to determine whether your account is even active. Sure, you'll occasionally get a random WhatsApp message from an unrecognized number that turns out to be a buddy who's changed numbers, but most of the time, they will be spam.Īlthough it is not a foolproof approach, one way to discourage some people from sending you unsolicited messages is to hide your WhatsApp status. It's highly unlikely you'll ever have such a sender in your address book, which means that when it lands in your WhatsApp inbox, it will always show as an unrecognized number. That means that the senders of spam can scrape the web for contact details, buy lists of active numbers from the dark web, and even hack other services that have your phone number on file, then send you an unsolicited message.
WhatsApp lets you send a message to anyone whose phone number you have.
