Hide number in WhatsApp - you need to know that

If you want to hide your number in WhatsApp to protect your privacy, read this article to see if that works.

Can the number be hidden in WhatsApp?

If you want to add a contact in WhatsApp and communicate with him, then you need the phone number. That means you can't add anyone by name. Conversely, this means the following for you:

• Your number cannot be hidden in WhatsApp. Only WhatsApp users who have your phone number can chat with you.
• If someone contacts you who you do not know and for whom you do not want to be reachable via WhatsApp, then you should block the WhatsApp contact. This means that communication can no longer take place.
• If you do not agree, you will be forced to switch to other services for chats where you want to hide your number. For example, in the Telegram app you can add contacts not only via the phone number, but also via the user name and hide your number.
• Telegram is available for your desktop PC, for Android and for iOS.
