WhatsApp has become the most popular messaging app over the last few years with over two billion users worldwide. This vast user base is due to its fantastic features and its free-to-use. Most of us daily send or receive messages on WhatsApp. While using it the one question that comes into our mind is “Has the other person saved my number in their WhatsApp contact list or not”. This question has been intriguing me for a long time so here are different methods that I came to know but first of all, we will discuss
What is a WhatsApp contact list?
The WhatsApp contact list is similar to the contact list on your phone. It’s a list of people who you have added to your WhatsApp account and can message and call through the app. When someone adds your number to their contact list, they can see your profile picture, status updates, and any other information you’ve shared on your profile.
Tips to know if someone added you to their WhatsApp contact list?
Check your WhatsApp contact list
The first and easiest way to check if someone has added your phone number to their WhatsApp contact list is by checking your contact list. If you see their name and profile picture in your contact list, they have likely added you as well.
Check for profile picture updates
If you see the other person has updated their profile picture on WhatsApp, it’s a good chance that they have added your number to their contact list. It's because WhatsApp automatically updates your profile picture for all your contacts.
Look for Status updates
If you can see someone's status updates then it's confirmed that they have added your number to their WhatsApp contact list.
Create a WhatsApp broadcast and message
Whatsapp broadcast is a fantastic feature introduced on the Whatsapp messaging app that let a user send a message to multiple contacts at once without creating a group chat. It’s similar to sending a message to a group of people, but unlike groups, the recipients of the broadcast message don’t see the other contacts who have received the message. This means every person receives a message individually and doesn’t know who else is on the broadcast list. This is commonly used to send out announcements, news, and updates to a large number of people at once.
Despite all of these advantages of this feature, there is a con that we can use to our advantage. That is the recipient should have added your number to their WhatsApp contact list other wise the message will be sent but not delivered though you have been chatting with the person previously. This is the best method that I have come to know as it is mentioned in the WhatsApp help guide that other people should have added your number to their contact list to receive a message.

Knowing whether someone has added your number to their Whatsapp contact list can be helpful in many situations. By following the tips we have written in this article, you can easily find out if someone has added you or not.
